1 And he spoke a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to give up;

2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God-Theos, neither regarded man:

3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.

4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God-Theos, nor regard man;

5 Yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

6 And the Lord - Kurios said, Hear what the unjust judge says.

7 And shall not God-Theos avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of Man comes, shall he find faith on the earth?
