18:1AND he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

18:2Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

18:3And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

18:4And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

18:5Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

18:6And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
