 Abraham felt that he shared the responsibility of those people. Then Abraham drew near and said, Will thou indeed destroy the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city. Will thou then destroy the place and not spare it for the sake of the fifty righteous who are in it? Abraham is full of confidence in God. And God replies, If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake.
