Again he spoke to him, “Suppose forty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of forty I will not do it.”
Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?” And he said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”
Then he said, “Oh, do not let my lord be angry if I speak. Suppose thirty are found there.” He answered, “I will not do it, if I find thirty there.”
Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints.
Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
