Genesis 18:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ The Lord said, “Should I keep hidden from Abraham what I am about to do, ¹⁸ for Abraham shall become a great and powerful nation and all of the nations of the earth shall be blessed through him? ¹⁹ I chose him so that he would instruct his sons and his family after him to observe the ways of the Lord and to act with justice and righteousness so that the Lord might fulfill what he has promised to Abraham.”
