For you know from whom you have learned them. - 15 And, from your infancy, you have known the Sacred Scriptures, which are able to instruct you toward salvation, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus. - 16 All Scripture, having been divinely inspired, is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in justice, - 17 so that the man of God may be perfect, having been trained for every good work. - 4:1 I testify before God, and before Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead through his return and his kingdom: - 2 that you should preach the word urgently, in season and out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke, with all patience and doctrine.

But afterwards, he said within himself: ‘Even though I do not fear God, nor respect man, - 5 yet because this widow is pestering me, I will vindicate her, lest by returning, she may, in the end, wear me out.’” - 6 Then the Lord said: “Listen to what the unjust judge said. - 7 So then, will not God grant the vindication of his elect, who cry out to him day and night? Or will he continue to endure them? - 8 I tell you that he will quickly bring vindication to them. Yet truly, when the Son of man returns, do you think that he will find faith on earth?” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Luke 18](https://blessbible.app/bible/luke/18/) Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish. In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version. Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
