耶穌對門徒講了一個比喻，為了要他們常常禱告，不可灰心。他說：「某城有一個官，不懼怕上帝，也不尊重人。那城裏有個寡婦，常到他那裏，說：『我有一個冤家，求你給我伸冤。』他很久不受理，後來心裏說：『我雖不懼怕上帝，也不尊重人，只因這寡婦煩擾我，我就給她伸冤吧，免得她常來糾纏我。』」主說：「你們聽這不義的官所說的話。上帝的選民晝夜呼籲他，他豈會延遲不給他們伸冤嗎？我告訴你們，他很快就要給他們伸冤。然而，人子來的時候，能在世上找到這樣的信德嗎？」

那人說：「天快亮了，讓我走吧！」雅各說：「你不給我祝福，我就不讓你走。」

弟兄們，我藉着我們的主耶穌基督，又藉着聖靈的愛，勸你們與我一同竭力為我祈求上帝，

有一個迦南婦人從那地方出來，喊着說：「主啊，大衛之子，可憐我！我女兒被鬼纏得很苦。」耶穌卻一言不答。門徒進前來，求他說：「這婦人在我們後頭喊叫，請打發她走吧。」耶穌回答：「我奉差遣只到以色列家迷失的羊那裏去。」那婦人來拜他，說：「主啊，幫幫我！」他回答：「拿孩子的餅丟給小狗吃是不妥的。」婦人說：「主啊，不錯，可是小狗也吃牠主人桌上掉下來的碎屑。」於是耶穌回答她說：「婦人，你的信心很大！照你所要的成全你吧。」從那時起，她的女兒就好了。

有一位你們那裏的人，作基督耶穌僕人的以巴弗問候你們。他禱告的時候常為你們竭力祈求，願你們能站穩而成熟，充分確信上帝一切的旨意。

為了這事，我曾三次求主使這根刺離開我。

我要你們知道，我為你們和老底嘉人，和所有沒有與我見過面的人，是何等地勤奮；
