New Testament

Luke 18:6-13 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

6. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.

7. And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to them?

8. I say unto you that he will avenge them speedily. But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth?

9. And he spoke also to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and made nothing of all the rest of men, this parable:

10. Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer.

11. The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.

12. I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain.

13. And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner.
