42:018:005 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
42:018:006 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
42:018:007 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
42:018:008 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
42:018:009 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
42:018:010 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
42:018:011 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
42:018:012 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
42:018:013 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
42:018:014 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
