Luke 18:1 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) he was speaking (elegen) [a] parable (parabolēn) to them (autois), to (pros) the (to) [disciples, v17:22, RE], to require (dein) them (autous) always (pantote) to cause themselves to be well-thankful to4336 (proseuchesthai) [God, AE], and (kai) not (mē) to give in to evil (enkakein);
Luke 18:2 (LIT/UBS4) saying (legōn), “[A] certain (tis) judge (kritēs), one causing himself not to fear (mē phoboumenos) the (ton) God (theon), and (kai) one not being respected (mē entrepomenos) by [a] mortal (anthrōpon), was being (ēn) in (en) [a] certain (tini) city (polei).
Luke 18:3 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) there was being (ēn) [a] bereaved one (chēra) in (en) the (tē) city (polei) of that (ekeinē), and (kai) she was causing herself to come (ērcheto) to (pros) him (auton), saying (legousa), ‘Avenge me out (ekdikēson me) from (apo) the (tou) one opposed to the righteousness (antidikou) of me (mou)!’
Luke 18:4 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) he was absolutely not desiring (ouk ēthelen) [it, AE] over (epi) [a] time (chronon).
But (de) with (meta) [the passing, AE] of these things (tauta), he enunciated (eipen) in (en) himself (heautō), ‘If (ei) I am absolutely not made fearful (ou phoboumai) of the (ton) God (theon), and (kai) but absolutely not (oude) am I respected (entrepomai) by [a] mortal (anthrōpon),
Luke 18:5 (LIT/UBS4) even so (ge), through (dia) [the sake, AE] of the (to) [time, AE] of the (tēn) bereaved one (chēran) of this (tautēn) to hold alongside (parechein) to me (moi) labor (kopon), I shall avenge her out (ekdikēsō autēn);
in order that (hina) in (eis) [the] end (telos) being caused to come (erchomenē), she may not jab (mē hupōpiazē) me (me)!"
Luke 18:6 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) lord (kurios) enunciated (eipen), “Hear (akousate) what (ti) the (ho) judge (kritēs), the one (tēs) of unrighteousness (adikias), says (legei)!
Luke 18:7 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) God (theos), should he no, absolutely not, do (mē ou poiēsē) the (tēn) vengeance (ekdikēsin) of the (tōn) called out ones (eklektōn) of him (autou), of the ones (tōn) shouting (boōntōn) to him (autō) day (hēmeras) and (kai) night (nuktos)!?
And (kai) is he patient (makrothumei) over (ep’) them (autois)!?
Luke 18:8 (LIT/UBS4) I say (legō) to you (humin) that (hoti) he shall do (poiēsei) the (tēn) vengeance (ekdikēsin) of them (autōn) in (en) [a] hurry (tachei)!
Moreover (plēn), the (ho) Son (huios) of the (tou) Mortal (anthrōpou) having come (elthōn), then (ara) shall he find (heurēsei) the (tēn) belief (pistin) upon (epi) the (tēs) land (gēs)?”
Luke 18:9 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) he enunciated (eipen) the (tēn) parable (parabolēn) of this (tautēn) to (pros) some (tinas) also (kai), [to, RE] the ones (tous) having been persuaded (pepoithotas) over (eph’) to themselves (heautois) that (hoti) they are (eisin) righteous ones (dikaioi);
and (kai) <they are rejecting> the (tous) remaining ones (loipous) as being absolutely nothing (exouthenountas):
Luke 18:10 (LIT/UBS4) “Two (duo) mortals (anthrōpoi), the (ho) one (heis) [a] Pharisee (Pharisaios) and (kai) the (ho) other (heteros) [a] termination-tax collector (telōnēs), walked up (anebēsan) into (eis) the (to) sacred place (hieron) to cause themselves to be well-thankful to4336 (proseuxasthai) [God, AE].
Luke 18:11 (LIT/UBS4) The (ho) Pharisee (Pharisaios) having been caused to stand (statheis), he was causing himself to be well-thankful to4336 (prosēucheto) [God, AE] to (pros) himself (heauton),
‘The (ho) God (theos), I give thanks well (eucharistō) to you (soi), that (hoti) I am absolutely not (ouk eimi) as (hōsper) the (hoi) remaining ones (loipoi), the (tōn) mortals (anthrōpōn) [being] rapacious ones (harpages), unrighteous ones (adikoi), adulterous ones (moichoi), or (ē) as (hōs) this one (houtos), the (ho) termination-tax collector5057 (telōnēs) also (kai).
Luke 18:12 (LIT/UBS4) Of the (tou) sabbath day (sabbatou), I fast (nēsteuō) twice (dis).
I give [a] tenth away (apodekatō) of all (panta), of as much as (hosa) I cause myself to acquire (ktōmai).’
Luke 18:13 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) termination-tax collector5057 (telōnēs), having stood (hestōs) afar (makrothen), he was absolutely not desiring (ouk ēthelen), but absolutely not (oude), to lift up (eparai) the (tous) eyes (ophthalmous) into (eis) the (ton) heaven (ouranon)!!
BUT (all’), he was beating (etupten) the (to) breast (stēthos) of him (autou), saying (legōn), ‘The (ho) God (theos), you have covered (hilasthēti) for me (moi), for the (tō) sinful one (hamartōlō)!’
Luke 18:14 (LIT/UBS4) I say (legō) to you (humin), this one (houtos) went down (katebē) into (eis) the (ton) house (oikon) of him (autou) having been made righteous (dedikaiōmenos), aside (par’) from that [other, AE] one (ekeinon);
because (hoti) everyone (pas), the one (ho) setting himself above (hupsōn heauton), he shall be humbled (tapeinōthēsetai).
But (de) the one (ho) humbling (tapeinōn) himself (heauton), he shall be set above (hupsōthēsetai).”
Luke 18:15 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) they were bringing (prosepheron) to him (autō) the (ta) babies (brephē) also (kai), in order that (hina) he may cause himself to take hold (haptētai) of them (autōn).
But (de) the (hoi) disciples (mathētai) having seen (idontes) [the babies, RE], they were epitomizing (epetimōn) them (autois).
Luke 18:16 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) Jesus (Iēsous) caused himself to call aloud to (prosekalesato) them (auta), saying (legōn), “Let go (aphete) of the (ta) young children (paidia) to be caused to come (erchesthai) to (pros) me (me), and (kai) do not cut them off (mē kōluete auta)!
Because (gar) of the (tōn) ones like these (toioutōn) is (estin) the (hē) kingdom932 (basileia) of the (tou) God (theou)!
Luke 18:17 (LIT/UBS4) Truly (amēn) I say (legō) to you (humin), perhaps (an) whoever (hos) may not cause himself to receive (mē dexētai) the (tēn) Kingdom932 (basileian) of the (tou) God (theou) as (hōs) [a] young child (paidion), no (mē), he may absolutely not enter in (eiselthē) into (eis) her (autēn)!”
Luke 18:18 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) [a] certain (tis) chief one (archōn) inquired (epērōtēsen) of him (auton), saying (legōn), “Good (agathe) teacher (didaskale), having done (poiēsas) what (ti) shall I inherit (klēronomēsō) ageless (aiōnion) life (zōēn)?”
Luke 18:19 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) Jesus (Iēsous) enunciated (eipen) to him (autō), “Why (ti) do you say (legeis) of me (me) [to be] [a] good (agathon) [teacher, v18, RE]?
Absolutely not one (oudeis) [teacher, v18, RE] [is] [a] good (agathos) [teacher, v18, RE] if (ei) not (mē) one (heis) [teacher, v18, RE], the (ho) God (theos)!

Luke 18:22 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) Jesus (Iēsous) having heard (akousas), he enunciated (eipen) to him (autō), "Yet (eti) you (soi) left behind (leipei) one thing (hen):
sell (pōlēson) all things (panta), as much as (hosa) you have (echeis), and (kai) distribute (diados) [them, AE] to poor ones (ptōchois), and (kai) you shall have (hexeis) treasure (thēsauron) in (en) the (tois) heavens (ouranois).

(For the way leading into life having been smothered, and for the lawyers having stolen the key of knowledge so that others cannot enter in, and subsequently for believers having to force themselves into the Kingdom of the Heavens, see Mat. 7:13-14, 21, 11:12, 16:19, 18:3-9, 19:17-26; Mark 9:43-48, 10:23-25; Luke 11:52, 13:24, 16:16, 18:16-27; John 3:3-6, 10:1-9; Acts 14:21-22)
