Genesis 18:23-25

Good News Translation

²³ Abraham approached the Lord and asked, “Are you really going to destroy the innocent with the guilty? ²⁴ If there are fifty innocent people in the city, will you destroy the whole city? Won't you spare it in order to save the fifty? ²⁵ Surely you won't kill the innocent with the guilty. That's impossible! You can't do that. If you did, the innocent would be punished along with the guilty. That is impossible. The judge of all the earth has to act justly.”
