Genesis 18:27

Abraham Intercedes For Sodom

²⁶ So the Lord replied, "If I find in the city of Sodom fifty godly people, I will spare the whole place for their sake." ²⁷ Then Abraham asked, "Since I have undertaken to speak to the Lord (although I am but dust and ashes), ²⁸ what if there are five less than the fifty godly people? Will you destroy the whole city because five are lacking?" He replied, "I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there."
