Luke 18:1-8

American Standard Version

18 And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint; ² saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man: ³ and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, ^[a]Avenge me of mine adversary. ⁴ And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; ⁵ yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, ^[b]lest she ^[c]wear me out by her continual coming. ⁶ And the Lord said, Hear what ^[d]the unrighteous judge saith. ⁷ And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, ^[e]and yet he is longsuffering over them? ⁸ I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find ^[f]faith on the earth?
