01:018:008 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. 01:018:009 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. 01:018:010 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. 01:018:011 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. 01:018:012 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? 01:018:013 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? 01:018:014 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. 01:018:015 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh. 01:018:016 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 01:018:017 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 01:018:018 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 01:018:019 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. 01:018:020 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; 01:018:021 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. 01:018:022 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. 01:018:023 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 01:018:024 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? 01:018:025 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? 01:018:026 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
