1:5	Most beloved, you should act faithfully in whatever you do for the brothers, and those who are sojourners;
1:6	they have given testimony to your charity in the sight of the Church. You would to well to lead these ones worthily to God.
1:7	For they set out, on behalf of his name, accepting nothing from the unbelievers.
1:8	ਇਸ ਲਈ, we must accept such as these, in order that we may cooperate with the truth.

Gospel

The Holy Gospel According to Luke 18: 1-8

18:1	Now he also told them a parable, that we should continually pray and not cease,
18:2	ਕਹਿ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ: “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, ਕਹਿ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ, ‘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	ਇਸ ਲਈ ਫਿਰ, 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. ਫਿਰ ਵੀ ਸੱਚਮੁੱਚ, when the Son of man returns, do you think that he will find faith on earth?"
