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

‹In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.›

‹Remember Lot's wife.›

‹Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.›

‹I tell you, in that night there shall be two› [men] ‹in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.›

‹Two› [women] ‹shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.›

‹Two› [men] ‹shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.›

And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, ‹Wheresoever the body› [is], ‹thither will the eagles be gathered together.›

And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

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

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

‹Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.›

And the Lord said, ‹Hear what the unjust judge saith.›

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

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

And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

‹Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.›

‹The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men› [are], ‹extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.›

‹I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.›

‹And 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.›

‹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.›
