Luke 18:1‑8• 1And he spoke also a parable to them to the purport that they should always pray and not faint,
 2saying, There was a judge in a city, not fearing God and not respecting man:
 3and there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of mine adverse party.
 4And he would not for a time; but afterwards he said within himself, If even I fear not God and respect not man,
 5at any rate because this widow annoys me I will avenge her, that she may not by perpetually coming completely harass me.
 6And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
 7And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to them?
 8I say unto you that he will avenge them speedily. But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth? (Luke 18:1‑8)
