Genesis 32:22-31
English Standard Version
Jacob Wrestles with God
22 The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children,[a] and crossed the ford of the (A)Jabbok. 23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and everything else that he had. 24 And Jacob was left alone. And (B)a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. 25 When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26 Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, (C)“I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 27 And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” 28 Then he said, (D)“Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel,[b] for (E)you have striven with God and (F)with men, and have prevailed.” 29 Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, (G)“Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. 30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel,[c] saying, “For (H)I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.” 31 The sun rose upon him as he passed (I)Penuel, limping because of his hip.

Jacob Wrestles With God
22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons(A) and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.(B) 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions.(C) 24 So Jacob was left alone,(D) and a man(E) wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip(F) so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”
But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”(G)
27 The man asked him, “What is your name?”
“Jacob,”(H) he answered.
28 Then the man said, “Your name(I) will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,[a](J) because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”(K)
29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”(L)
But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?”(M) Then he blessed(N) him there.
30 So Jacob called the place Peniel,[b] saying, “It is because I saw God face to face,(O) and yet my life was spared.”
31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel,[c](P) and he was limping because of his hip.

My Help Comes from the Lord
A Song of (A)Ascents.
121 I (B)lift up my eyes to (C)the hills.
From where does my help come?
2 (D)My help comes from the Lord,
who (E)made heaven and earth.
3 He will not (F)let your foot be moved;
he who (G)keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven(A) and earth.(B)
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches(C) over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
2 Timothy 3:14-4:5
English Standard Version
14 But as for you, (A)continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom[a] you learned it 15 and how (B)from childhood you have been acquainted with (C)the sacred writings, (D)which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 (E)All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that (F)the man of God[b] may be complete, (G)equipped (H)for every good work.
Preach the Word
4 (I)I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, (J)who is to judge the living and the dead, and by (K)his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; (L)reprove, rebuke, and (M)exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 (N)For the time is coming when people will not endure (O)sound[c] teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and (P)will turn away from listening to the truth and (Q)wander off into myths. 5 As for you, (R)always be sober-minded, (S)endure suffering, do the work of (T)an evangelist, (U)fulfill your ministry.

New International Version
14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,(A) 15 and how from infancy(B) you have known the Holy Scriptures,(C) which are able to make you wise(D) for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed(E) and is useful for teaching,(F) rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,(G) 17 so that the servant of God[a](H) may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.(I)
4 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead,(J) and in view of his appearing(K) and his kingdom, I give you this charge:(L) 2 Preach(M) the word;(N) be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke(O) and encourage(P)—with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.(Q) Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.(R) 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.(S) 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship,(T) do the work of an evangelist,(U) discharge all the duties of your ministry.

The Parable of the Persistent Widow
18 And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought (A)always to pray and not (B)lose heart. 2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who (C)neither feared God nor respected man. 3 And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ 4 For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, (D)‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’” 6 And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. 7 And (E)will not God give justice to (F)his elect, (G)who cry to him day and night? (H)(I)Will he delay long over them? 8 I tell you, he will give justice to them (J)speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, (K)will he find faith on earth?”

Luke 18:1-8
New International Version
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
18 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.(A) 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice(B) against my adversary.’
4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”(C)
6 And the Lord(D) said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out(E) to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man(F) comes,(G) will he find faith on the earth?”
