Luke 18:1-7

Goodspeed(i) 1 He gave them an illustration to show that they must always pray and not give up, 2 and he said, "There was once in a city a judge who had no fear of God and no respect for men. 3 There was a widow in the city and she came to him and said, 'Protect me from my opponent.' 4 And he would not for a time, but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I have no fear of God nor respect for men, 5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will protect her, so that she may not finally wear me out with her coming.' " 6 And the Master said, "Listen to what this dishonest judge said! 7 Then will not God provide protection for his chosen people, who cry out to him day and night?
