Passage Luke 18:1-8:

Luke 18

The Parable of the Persistent Widow

   

    1And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought(A) always to pray and not(B) lose heart. 2He said, "In a certain city there was a judge who(C) neither feared God nor respected man. 3And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.' 4For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself,(D) 'Though I neither fear God nor respect man, 5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.'" 6And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge says. 7And(E) will not God give justice to(F) his elect,(G) who cry to him day and night?(H) (I) Will he delay long over them? 8I tell you, he will give justice to them(J) speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes,(K) will he find faith on earth?"
