Then he thought about it and he said to himself, I do not fear God and have little respect for man.5 »However this widow bothers me. For this reason I will avenge her. If she keeps coming to me she will wear me out.«6 The Lord continued: »Pay attention to what the unrighteous judge said.«7 »Should God avenge his chosen that cry to him day and night, and yet he is longsuffering over them?8 »I say to you, that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, will the Son of man find faith on the earth when he comes?»

7 »If you remain with me, and my words remain with you, ask whatever you will, and it will be done for you.

16 »You did not choose me. I chose you and appointed you. You should go and bear fruit and your fruit should remain. Whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

24 »Until now you have not asked a single thing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom let him ask of God. He gives to all generously and without reproach and it will be given to him.6 However he must ask in faith, not doubting: for he who doubts is like a surging wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.7 Do not let that man think that he will receive anything from God.8 A double-minded man is unstable inconsistent in all his ways.

24 Jehovah has not despised or been disgusted with the plight of the oppressed one. He has not hidden his face from that person. Jehovah heard when that oppressed person cried out to him for help.

15 »Call on me in times of trouble. I will rescue you, and you will honor me.«

17 With my mouth I cried out to him. High praise was on my tongue.

18 If I had thought about doing anything sinful, Jehovah would not have listened to me.
