← Genesis 18:23	Genesis 18:24 (KJV)	Genesis 18:25 →
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?	Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that [are] therein?	That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
