Luke:18:1-17
wesleynt@Luke:18:1 @ And he spake a parable to them to this end, that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;
wesleynt@Luke:18:2 @ Saying, There was in a certain city a judge who feared not God nor reverenced man.
wesleynt@Luke:18:3 @ And there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, saying, Do me justice on mine adversary.
wesleynt@Luke:18:4 @ And he would not for a while, but afterwards he said in himself, Tho' I fear not God nor reverence man,
wesleynt@Luke:18:5 @ Yet because this widow giveth me trouble, I will do her justice, left by her continual coming she weary me out.
wesleynt@Luke:18:6 @ And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith?
wesleynt@Luke:18:7 @ And shall not God vindicate his own elect, who cry to him day and night, though he bear long with them?
wesleynt@Luke:18:8 @ I tell you he will vindicate them speedily. Yet when the Son of man cometh, will he find faith upon earth?
wesleynt@Luke:18:9 @ And he spake this parable to certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others.
wesleynt@Luke:18:10 @ Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
wesleynt@Luke:18:11 @ The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed thus, God I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
wesleynt@Luke:18:12 @ I fast twice in the week: I give tythes of all that I possess.
wesleynt@Luke:18:13 @ And the publican standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
wesleynt@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 humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
wesleynt@Luke:18:15 @ And they brought to him infants also, that he might touch them; but the disciples seeing it, rebuked them.
wesleynt@Luke:18:16 @ But Jesus calling them to him, said, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.
wesleynt@Luke:18:17 @ Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter therein.
