Genesis 18:26-28

Living Bible

²⁶ And God replied, “If I find fifty godly people there, I will spare the entire city for their sake.”

²⁷ Then Abraham spoke again. “Since I have begun, let me go on and speak further to the Lord, though I am but dust and ashes. ²⁸ Suppose there are only forty-five? Will you destroy the city for lack of five?”

And God said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five.”
