Luke 18:6-8
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
6 And the Lord said, “Listen-to what the unrighteous judge is saying[a]. 7 And shall not God execute vengeance[b] for His chosen ones— the ones crying-out to Him by day and by night and He is being patient[c] with them? 8 I say to you that He will execute vengeance for them quickly. However, the Son of Man having come, will He find faith[d] on the earth?”
