20. So the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so blatant
21. that I must go down and see if they are as wicked as the outcry suggests. If not, I want to know.”
22. The two men turned and headed toward Sodom, but Abraham was still standing before the Lord.
23. Abraham approached and said, “Will you sweep away the godly along with the wicked?
24. What if there are fifty godly people in the city? Will you really wipe it out and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty godly people who are in it?
25. Far be it from you to do such a thing – to kill the godly with the wicked, treating the godly and the wicked alike! Far be it from you! Will not the judge of the whole earth do what is right?”
