Luke 18:4 - Luke 18:14
4 And he would not for a while; but afterward, he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her; lest, by her continual coming she weary me.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, who cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with men?
8 I tell you that he will come, and when he does come, he will avenge his saints speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
9 He spake this parable unto certain men, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others.
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself; God, I thank thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers; or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me a sinner.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other; for every one who exalteth himself, shall be abased; and he who humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
