Genesis 18:23 in Context — Genesis 18

21 Descerei agora, e verei se consumaram sua obra segundo o clamor que veio até mim; e se não, eu o saberei.

22 E apartaram-se dali os homens, e foram até Sodoma: mas Abraão estava ainda diante do SENHOR.

23 E aproximou-se Abraão e disse: Destruirás também ao justo com o ímpio?

24 Talvez haja cinquenta justos dentro da cidade: destruirás também e não perdoarás ao lugar por cinquenta justos que estejam dentro dela?

25 Longe de ti o fazer tal, que faças morrer ao justo com o ímpio e que seja o justo tratado como o ímpio; nunca faças tal. O juiz de toda a terra, não há de fazer o que é justo?
