Genesis 18:13–19

13

The LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Will I really bear a child when I am old?’

14

Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes around, and Sarah will have a son.”

15

Then Sarah denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh,” for she was afraid.

He said, “No, but you did laugh.”

Selected verse

The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.

17

The LORD said, “Will I hide from Abraham what I do,

18

since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?

19

For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that the LORD may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.”
