    The "Give Me An Answer" ministry began as an outgrowth of the dialogues Cliffe Knechtle has had with students on various university campuses throughout the United States. These universities include the University of Maine, Harvard, MIT, University of Florida, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota, University of California Los Angeles, University of California San Diego, Berkeley, Stanford, University of Hawaii and the University of Washington. Cliffe spoke on these campuses in front of the Student Union or Library at noon for five to ten minutes. At the close of his initial remarks, he'd open up the time for questions and answers, which usually turned into a two to four hour dialogue with students. His crowd size ranged from 25 - 500 students at a time, and between classes, new students would join the discussion. This is an extremely effective way to reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.

      Cool seeing classic Cliffe Knechtle's videos for the 1990's 😎. I was raised Christian but became an atheist and agnostic from 2017-2019 as a teenager dealing with mental health issues until I started reading my Bible again after my music teacher gave me his red Bible I read it from Genesis to Revelation. It's cool because people like Cliffe and Stuart look out for believers and unbelievers alike as human beings whether they agree, disagree or disrespectfully disagree. In the modern world most people aren't looking for The Truth but feeling better or superior to others. We're all sinners trying to do Good or Evil in our actions and intentions. After reading The Bible in it's context I realized that The 7 Days of Creation in Genesis are actually 7 thousand years as a Day to The Lord God is a thousand years as Psalm and 2 Peter says so the Earth is actually older than 14 thousand years old so it could be millions to billions of years old. I'm glad brothers Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle's Apologetics ministry still going strong in 2024 after all these decades. After studying science .This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
      I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
      Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
      Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
      ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " On The Origin of Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology as an origin whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of macro evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
      Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.

      What do you mean by “ cool”?What’s “cool” to you may not be “cool “ to me and Jesus is not ambiguous like that. Jesus Christ is “the Lamb of God , who takes away the sin of the world.” John 1:29 He is the propitiation for the sin of everyone in the world, so we need an adjective that is better than “cool” like Righteous, holy, powerful. Jesus Christ deserves to be more than just “cool “

      Ambiguousness is the main selling point of the Bible, Along with fear and love.
      "Numbers" god spoke directly to the priest to create a "bitters" to induce abortions as punishment, to the wives accused by their husbands.
      God is allowed to do all without reason so,... guess that is your point?
      Great deity, we have thousand if not more deity's to follow
      What sin? And if he takes away the sin of the world, then by that standard there is no sin in the world as Jesus in John1:29 says so.(read more)
      Dig deeper find the bad to go along with the good and figure it out for yourself, no blinders
      Reading the Bible disproves god, but doesn't invalidate your faith or hopes.
      Have a good day.

      @@georgekantstandu4501 The Bible stands as a rich anthology encompassing diverse genres such as history, poetry, prophecy, and letters. Its complexity often leads to various interpretations, yet Christians hold that through prayer, diligent study, and guidance from the Holy Spirit, one can gain clarity and understanding of its teachings. While its multifaceted nature may present challenges, it does not diminish the Bible's value; rather, it invites deeper exploration and engagement.
      In Numbers 5, the passage describing the "Bitter Water" test presents a ritual for a woman accused of adultery, often misconstrued as a literal punishment or method for inducing abortion. However, scholars view it symbolically within its ancient Near Eastern context, where such rituals were commonplace and not universally prescriptive.
      The assertion that "God is allowed to do all without reason" reflects a misunderstanding of Christian theology. Christians believe in God's sovereignty, understanding His actions as purposeful expressions of justice, love, and righteousness, even if not always comprehensible to humans.
      Christianity is unequivocally monotheistic, teaching the existence of one God revealed in three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. While respecting other religious beliefs, Christians maintain that Jesus Christ is the unique and definitive revelation of God to humanity.
      John 1:29 refers to Jesus as "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world," highlighting the Christian belief in Jesus' atoning sacrifice. This does not imply the eradication of sin but signifies the breaking of its power, offering forgiveness and reconciliation with God.
      Christians are encouraged to read the Bible critically, engaging with its accounts of human imperfection and divine intervention. Both uplifting and challenging passages contribute to believers' growth in faith and understanding of God's character.
      Studying the Bible serves as a means to seek truth and deepen faith, acknowledging its narratives of human imperfection and divine intervention. Despite the assertion that reading the Bible disproves God, many find that it strengthens their faith and understanding of the world. Doubts and questions are natural aspects of the faith journey, fostering a nuanced and robust comprehension of one's beliefs.
      Faith and hope in the Christian context transcend empirical evidence, relying on personal conviction, community experience, and spiritual revelation. While critical examination of the Bible is essential, it does not necessarily negate faith or hope; rather, it fosters a more profound understanding and appreciation of one's beliefs.

    A man who is lost at sea is rescued by a passing ship. The care of the ship’s doctor slowly revives him and brings him back to life. And if he was not grateful what would we think of his ingratitude?
    A man held prisoner by vicious terrorists who plan to behead him. A brave soldier risks his life and rescues him. And if he was not grateful what would we say?
    When great good is done to us we are thankful and grateful.
    But what shall we say of a man who knowingly sacrifices his own life to save us and our families from extinction. Surely we would be eternally grateful.
    But what shall be said of those who should despise such a good man. Shall it go well with them.

      Because out of our desire to protect and promote our own personal good come all our negative thoughts, words and actions.
      Therefore I say unto you: because we draw our LIFE and BEING from "God," we draw our capacity to think and love from "God."
      Even as "God" is creative, so is our consciousness creative. With our minds and hearts we actually form the plans of our own lives and experiences.
      And what kind of lives do most people plan and form in their minds? If someone annoys or hurts them, they retaliate in some way or another, they believe that if their eye is taken, they must expect their adversary's eye in return.
      They believe that whoever kills should be killed as punishment and compensation, they believe that whoever robs them should pay the price, that whoever steals their wife, should be stoned along with their wife.
      Most people believe in the extraction of payment for every evil thing that comes their way.
      Since it is human nature to hurt others, and most people have been taught to retaliate, their lives are a continual scene of warfare-warfare in the home among husbands, wives, children, neighbors, public figures and between nations.
      "God" knows of this warfare in their lives, "He" knows the stress in their minds and bodies arising from this warfare but can do nothing-nothing to ease the pain-until people themselves stop the warfare.
      People themselves must cease their fighting and live in peace with their families, neighbors, employers, public figures and other countries.
      Only then, can "God's" LOVE take place in their minds, hearts, bodies and lives.
      Only then will people be able to recognize and see "God's" Love being done in them-and for them by "God."
      For that reason, there is no punishment, that "God" sees not our evil.

      How greatly are you misled by your own passions!
      When we steal, we will lose things too. When we fight, wound, maim and kill-we will be maimed, wounded or killed in body and or in spirit. When we start a war, it will be a long and bitter struggle. Everything evil we have endured, we have been the original cause of it.
      We have the ability to choose the way we wish to think and live. And we choose the way we will think and live by changing our consciousness from antagonism to unconditional love and acceptance of everyone equally.
      If you imagine the damage and hurt you will like to inflict on another, your thoughts will reach your enemy and will erode their strength according to the intensity of your intention.
      Do not think that your thoughts has dissolved and is no more. It rests in electromagnetic strength, taking on form until it rebounds to harm you too.
      You can do much damage with your thinking and feelings. Damage to others and damage to yourself. Therefore, guard them-the tools of creativity-well, and at all times turn to God, and ask for relief from any thoughts which is contrary to unconditional love. According to the power of your prayer and the sincere faith in which you raise your mind to God, your thoughts will be imbued with new life and unconditional love.

      Only then will people be able to recognize and see God's Love being done in them-and for them by God.
      For that reason, there is no punishment, that God sees not our evil.

    Cool seeing classic Cliffe Knechtle's videos for the 1990's 😎. I was raised Christian but became an atheist and agnostic from 2017-2019 as a teenager dealing with mental health issues until I started reading my Bible again after my music teacher gave me his red Bible I read it from Genesis to Revelation. It's cool because people like Cliffe and Stuart look out for believers and unbelievers alike as human beings whether they agree, disagree or disrespectfully disagree. In the modern world most people aren't looking for The Truth but feeling better or superior to others. We're all sinners trying to do Good or Evil in our actions and intentions. After reading The Bible in it's context I realized that The 7 Days of Creation in Genesis are actually 7 thousand years as a Day to The Lord God is a thousand years as Psalm and 2 Peter says so the Earth is actually older than 14 thousand years old so it could be millions to billions of years old. I'm glad brothers Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle's Apologetics ministry still going strong in 2024 after all these decades. After studying science .This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
    I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
    Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
    Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
    ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " On The Origin of Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology as an origin whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of macro evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
    Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.

    Cliffe asks a brilliant question at 14:55 Q:"what would you do if you knew you'd never be caught"? It's a great hypothetical question. It would very much depend on whether my actions had detrimental consequences on others, eg: stealing a few hundred bucks from a bank that had hundreds of billions and giving that money to a homeless guy I would view as a good thing. Or if I put deadly poison in a cup and Putin drank it, it would be detrimental to him, but mightily beneficial to the world.

Now it stays on the bottom of a big box of books in my closet. And unless Jesus changes it back into God's Holy word, I will never open it or any other bible the rest of my life!*
    *Satan is spreading his evil across the globe and most people are beginning to see it. But sadly only a tiny few see what he's done to God's word...*
    *What The Father has spoken will never change, His promises are still good and our prayers are still answered! Hallelujah!!! But as impossible as this sounds, like so many of the true stories in scripture, our bibles have all been supernaturally changed by Satan in the last several years, right in our homes, in the fulfillment of prophecy. It's being done to prepare for the reign of the antichrist. All languages and all translations have been changed along with concordances, encyclopedias, dictionaries, history books, the original Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Aramaic manuscripts. Even the Dead Sea Scrolls have been changed!*
    *I'm 71, was saved when I was 10, and have read only the exact same copy of the King James bible my church gave me in 1961. (This does not mean I was a King James onlyist but now I'm glad I never read other ones or I might not have noticed the changes as soon.) I had memorized many scriptures from it through the years. Then in 2014 I started seeing changes in it that I couldn't explain. I had never owned a computer or heard of the Mandela Effect back then. But after being given my first computer in 2016 I finally found out why I had been noticing all of the oddities that I couldn't explain. I then started diligently studying what should actually have been called the "Daniel 7:25 effect". That's where God said He would give the antichrist the power to do this. (Change times and laws, history and scripture) We're seeing many end time prophecies being fulfilled SUPERNATURALLY! This is some of the "lying signs and wonders" God told us He would give the AC power to perform which would even deceive His very elect, if it were possible in 2nd Thessalonians chapter two!*
    *God said in the end of days, (NOW!) that He would send us a famine for hearing His words in Amos **8:11** and that He would give the antichrist the ability to do this in Daniel 7:25. In Daniel 12:4 & 12:9 He told him to seal his book until the end days. He told John **_not_** to seal his book because the end time is at hand in Revelation 22:10. One of the Greek definitions of ''seal'' in Strongs concordance is “to protect from Satan”. He also told us to “hide His words in our hearts”, which meant memorize, if not word for word at least the essence of what was written, because He knew this was going to happen.*
    *God commanded us to "prove all things", and people **_better_** obey Him, especially on this subject. I urge you to research this. There are many brothers and sisters making videos about the changes with more proof of what was originally written and I have lots more about this in my playlist 👉 which can be found by typing in (PROOF OF BIBLE CHANGE RESIDUE JUNKIE 1)* 👈
    *I've continued to stay in God's word by reading what has been documented to be what used to be written and what Satan has been changing. Soon Amos **8:12** will be fulfilled too and we won't be able to find God's word anymore, and the only way it can happen is by not being able to see these videos and PDF written lists of documented changes like the one at (amos)(8)(.)(org)*
    *_May God bless all who read this with eyes to see this incredible faith strengthener, and how close we are to our Saviour's return!!!!_*

    We all sin willfully in our old life, we notice if we get jealous or prideful but never cared nor actually notice it. That when the Grace of God comes and we finally see how bad it is. We're all spiritually ignorant and blind.
    But for an unbeliever if their sin is not convicted and they didn't actually notice it and they die in their sin, go to hell is it really their fault? Please answer me I really want to know the answer!

    If we are the chosen ones, for many are called and few are chosen, we will be found amongst the predestined ones, mentioned in the Bible as the predestinated.
    But we also know that the knowledge of those prayers we would pray today, were seen by God during ancient yesterdays, namely before He created mankind.
    For if our prayers were not playing an intrinsic part, albeit a small part in the salvation of others, why then should we pray them.
    Would God have chosen these ones before the foundation of the world to be saved and predestinated without the prayers of the saints to be prayed in the future. Or would God have saved us without this love for others to be saved.
    Surely God is allowing us the honour of playing a small part in His great salvation plan-knowing we will fast and pray for others to be saved.
    Therefore we assume He utilises our prayers, having the knowledge before the foundation of the world
    that we would pray them.
    And as He knew before the foundation of the world, that we would indeed pray for these ones to be saved-He presumably deems us also worthy to be saved, because of proving it with of our love of others, by praying that they might be saved as well as ourselves.
    And we know that as God knows all things, we therefore know, that He knows, before He creates them, those who have the wherewithal to be faithful to Him. And it’s these ones that He chooses, for why would He choose the unfaithful. And also why would He predestinate unless it was necessary.
    Would we have been brought to that perfect place where repentance was possible, but not forced upon us, without God orchestrated our lives so we could indeed repent.
    When we consider our lives we marvel at this and realise that we wouldn’t have repented without His orchestration of our lives. Therefore we see the necessity of predestination.

      There is no right version. I suggest Ryrie's _New American Standard Bible_ (NASB). This translation is very similar to the King James but replaces outdated Old English terms with equivalent modern American ones. It is a study Bible so it includes margin cross references, charts, maps, glossary, and brief history of the books origins. It is soft leather covered with case binding, so it is extremely sturdy. I have owned mine for 48 years and it is great shape.
      I would suggest reading the Gospel of Matthew first (first book of NT) as a 'preface' and then return to the Book of Genesis and read the Books in order.
      Don't worry about studying the passages yet. You simply want to get familiar with the Bible your first read through. Simply read at a casual pace. If you read an hour a day it will take you about 3-4 months.
      Peace.

    God knowing all things knew what would befall mankind if He created them.
    And therefore God knew that if He created mankind, He would have to save them by being a sacrifice in the form of the Lord Jesus Christ.
    But nevertheless, God knowing all this, still goes ahead with His plan to create man, knowing of the ransom that has to be paid.
    If and when we should ever doubt if God loves us, we can cease from wondering, by remembering what God has done for us.
    If God would have chosen to not create mankind, He would not have been crucified to a tree at Calvary. He could have avoided this. But He loves us with such a great love that for the joy that was set before Him. He went to the cross.
    Hebrews 12:2 KJV
    “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

    "I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: “I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God.” That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."

    And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
    2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
    3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
    4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
    5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
    6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
    7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
    8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
