And shall not God avenge his own elect, who cry day and night unto him, though he bears long with them?
All Commentaries on Luke 18:7 Go To Luke 18
Tertullian of Carthage
AD 220
He show us that it is God the judge whom we must importune with prayer, and not Himself, if He is not Himself the judge. But He added, that "God would avenge His own elect.".
He is commanding that those about to confess be the object of solicitude; and He is soothing their sufferings when He asserts that God will avenge His own elect.
