Luke 18

Luke 18:7

And shall not God avenge his own elect, which

cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? If the very unrighteous judge yielded so far to the importunity of the poor widow, as to satisfy her desire; how much more shall the holy and merciful God be moved by the importunate prayers of his elect, to revenge them upon their enemies, though he do yet forbear them with long patience!

Luke 18:8

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

I tell you, that he will surely take speedy vengeance on them: he will not slack the time, as men count slackness; but will come, in his determined season, to execute justice on their cruel persecutors; whose rage shall be so great and so prevalent, that there shall scarce be any faith found upon the earth, when the Son of Man cometh.

Luke 18:14

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

I tell you, this publican, how sinful, how despised soever, returned home with better acceptation from God, than that other proud Pharisee, that stood upon points of his own justification and holiness.
