31 아브라함이 또 가로되 `내가 감히 내 주께 고하나이다 거기서 이십인을 찾으시면 어찌 하시려나이까 ?' 가라사대 내가 이십인을 인하여 멸하지 아니하리라

2254. Verse 25 Far be it from You to do such a thing as to make the righteous die with the wicked, so that the righteous will be as the wicked; far be it from You; will not the Judge of the whole earth execute judgement?

'Far be it from You to do such a thing' means the Lord's horror. 'As to make the righteous die with the wicked, so that the righteous will be as the wicked' means that good cannot die, because evil can be separated from it. 'Far be it from You' means a greater degree of horror. 'Will not the Judge of the whole earth execute judgement?' means that Divine Good cannot effect this in the manner of truth separated from good.
