← Genesis 18:24	Genesis 18:25 (KJV)	Genesis 18:26 →
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?	And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
