Genesis 18:26-28

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁶ The Lord said, “If I find 50 righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”^(A)

²⁷ Then Abraham answered, “Since I have ventured to speak to the Lord—even though I am dust and ashes— ²⁸ suppose the 50 righteous lack five. Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?”

He replied, “I will not destroy it if I find 45 there.”
