Genesis 18:26-28

The Message

²⁶ God said, “If I find fifty decent people in the city of Sodom, I’ll spare the place just for them.”

^27-28 Abraham came back, “Do I, a mere mortal made from a handful of dirt, dare open my mouth again to my Master? What if the fifty fall short by five—would you destroy the city because of those missing five?”

He said, “I won’t destroy it if there are forty-five.”
