Genesis 18:24 Context
22And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodome: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. 23¶ And Abraham drew neere, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24Peraduenture there be fifty righteous within the citie; wilt thou also destroy, and not spare the place for the fiftie righteous, that are therein? 25That be farre from thee, to do after this maner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be farre from thee: Shall not the Iudge of all the earth doe right? 26And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fiftie righteous, within the citie, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
