Genesis 18:22-25
New International Version
22 The men(A) turned away and went toward Sodom,(B) but Abraham remained standing before the Lord.[a](C) 23 Then Abraham approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?(D) 24 What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare[b] the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it?(E) 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing(F)—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous(G) and the wicked alike.(H) Far be it from you! Will not the Judge(I) of all the earth do right?”(J)
