This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Importunity (ἀναίδειαν)
Only here in New Testament. A very striking word to describe persistence. Lit., shamelessness. As related to prayer, it is illustrated in the case of Abraham's intercession for Sodom (Gen 18:23-33); and of the Syro-Phoenician woman (Mat 15:22-28).
