Joshua 24:16

And the people answer and say, 'Far be it from us to forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods;

'I, also, far be it from me to sin against Jehovah, by ceasing to pray for you, and I have directed you in the good and upright way;

let it not be! since how shall God judge the world?

let it not be! we who died to the sin -- how shall we still live in it?

and 'the righteous by faith shall live,' and 'if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,'
