Some scholars feel that the term conveys the idea of damaging someone’s reputation. As the expression is used in this context, it describes the feeling of the judge, who was at first unwilling to listen to the widow’s plea for justice but who was moved to act because of her persistence. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070662/6/0" data-bid="7-1" class="b">Lu 18:1-4</a>) The illustration does not say that God is like the unrighteous judge; rather, it contrasts God with the judge. If this unrighteous judge would eventually do what was right, how much more so would God! Like the widow, God’s servants must persist in asking Jehovah for his help. God, who is righteous, will respond in answer to their prayer, causing justice to be done.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070662/7/0" data-bid="8-1" class="b">Lu 18:6, 7</a>.</p>

sense, but to a particular kind of faith, like that of the widow in Jesus’ illustration. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070662/9/0" data-bid="10-1" class="b">Lu 18:1-8</a>) This would include having faith in the power of prayer as well as faith that God will cause justice to be done to his chosen ones. Jesus apparently left the question about faith unanswered so that his disciples would think about the quality of their own faith. The illustration about prayer and faith was particularly appropriate because Jesus had just been describing the tests his disciples would face.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070662/10/0"
