Luke 18:1-8

1 Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ^aought to pray and not to ^blose heart, 2 saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not ^crespect man. 3 “There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘ ^{▼▼ Lit Do me justice}Give me legal protection from my opponent.’ 4 “For a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor ^erespect man, 5 yet ^fbecause this widow bothers me, I will ^{▼▼ Lit do her justice}give her legal protection, otherwise by continually coming she will ^{▼▼ Lit hit me under the eye
,} ⁱwear me out.’” 6 And ^jthe Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge said; 7 now, will not God ^kbring about justice for His ^lelect who cry to Him day and night, ^{▼▼ Or and yet He is very patient toward them}and will He ⁿdelay long over them? 8 “I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, ^owill He find ^{▼▼ Lit the faith}faith on the earth?”
