17:8	And Amalek came and fought against Israel at Rephidim.
17:9	And Moses said to Joshua: “Choose men. And when you go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow, I will stand at the top of the hill, holding the staff of God in my hand.”
17:10	Joshua did as Moses had spoken, and he fought against Amalek. But Moses and Aaron and Hur ascended to the top of the hill.
17:11	And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed. But when he released them a little while, Amalek overcame.
17:12	Then the hands of Moses became heavy. And so, taking a stone, they placed it beneath him, and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur sustained his hands from both sides. And it happened that his hands did not tire until the setting of the sun.
17:13	And Joshua put to flight Amalek and his people by the edge of the sword.

3:14	Yet truly, you should remain in those things which you have learned and which have been entrusted to you. For you know from whom you have learned them.
3:15	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.
3:16	All Scripture, having been divinely inspired, is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in justice,
3:17	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:
4:2	that you should preach the word urgently, in season and out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke, with all patience and doctrine.

18:1	Now he also told them a parable, that we should continually pray and not cease,
18:2	saying: “There was a certain judge in a certain city, who did not fear God and did not respect man.
18:3	But there was a certain widow in that city, and she went to him, saying, ‘Vindicate me from my adversary.’
18:4	And he refused to do so for a long time. But afterwards, he said within himself: ‘Even though I do not fear God, nor respect man,
18:5	yet because this widow is pestering me, I will vindicate her, lest by returning, she may, in the end, wear me out.’ ”
18:6	Then the Lord said: “Listen to what the unjust judge said.
18:7	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?
18:8	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?”
