Genesis 13:10-13

       10.   And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
      11   Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
      12   Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
      13   But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

Genesis 14:1-13

       1.   And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
      2   That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
      3   All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
      4   Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
      5   And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
      6   And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.
      7   And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.
      8   And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
      9   With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
      10   And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
      11   And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
      12   And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
      13.   And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.

Genesis 18:1-22

       1.   And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
      2   And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
      3   And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
      4   Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
      5   And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
      6   And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
      7   And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
      8   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.
      9.   And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
      10   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.
      11   Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
      12   Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
      13   And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
      14   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.
      15   Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
      16.   And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
      17   And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
      18   Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
      19   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.
      20   And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
      21   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.
      22   And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.

Genesis 18:20

       20   And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

Genesis 18:23-33

       23.   And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
      24   Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
      25   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?
      26   And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
      27   And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
      28   Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
      29   And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
      30   And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
      31   And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.
      32   And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
      33   And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

Habakkuk 3:2

       2   O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.

Hebrews 13:2

       2   Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

James 5:1-6

       1.   Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
      2   Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
      3   Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
      4   Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
      5   Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
      6   Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

James 5:16

       16   Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
