³ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage battle ^(A)according to the flesh, ⁴ for the ^(B)weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but ^[a]divinely powerful ^(C)for the destruction of fortresses. ⁵ We are destroying arguments and all ^(D)arrogance raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the ^(E)obedience of Christ,

¹³ And ^(A)whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that ^(B)the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ask Me anything ^(C)in My name, I will do it.

Parables on Prayer

18 Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ^(A)ought to pray and not ^(B)become discouraged, ² saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not ^(C)respect any person. ³ Now there was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Give me justice against my ^[a]opponent.’ ⁴ For a while he was unwilling; but later he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor ^(D)respect any person, ⁵ yet ^(E)because this widow is bothering me, I will give her justice; otherwise ^[b]by continually coming she will ^(F)wear me out.’” ⁶ And ^(G)the Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge *said; ⁷ now, will God not ^(H)bring about justice for His ^(I)elect who cry out to Him day ^[c]and night, and will He ^(J)delay long for them? ⁸ I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, ^(K)will He find ^[d]faith on the earth?”
