42:018:002 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
42:018:003 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
42:018:004 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
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.
