People's Bible Notes for Luke 18:7


Lu 18:7 Shall not God avenge his own elect? If an unjust, hard-hearted judge can be moved by the persistent prayers of a widow, will not the tender, loving, good Father hear the cries of his children? Though he bear long with them. Rather, as in the Revised Version, "He is long-suffering over them". He is long-suffering for them for their own good, and long-suffering towards their enemies in order that they may have opportunity to repent.
