"and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. "
— Luke 18:3, American Standard Version
“And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.”
“A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, 'Defend me from my adversary!'”
“There was also a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying,‘Give me justice against my adversary.’”
“And there was a certain widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.”
“And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong.”
“And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.”
And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;
saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man:
and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith.
