Lucas 18

1 And he spake also a simile to them, that it is necessary for us always to pray, and not to faint,

2 saying, 'A certain judge was in a certain city -- God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding --

3 and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,

4 and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard,

5 yet because this widow does give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.'

6 And the Lord said, 'Hear you what the unrighteous judge said:

7 and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night -- bearing long in regard to them?

8 I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?'
