Genesis 19:4-8
New American Standard Bible
4 Before they lay down, (A)the men of the city—the men of Sodom—surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people [a]from every quarter; 5 and they called to Lot and said to him, “(B)Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may [b]have relations with them.” 6 But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, 7 and said, “Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly. 8 Now look, (C)I have two daughters who have not [c]had relations with any man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them [d]whatever you like; only do not do anything to these men, because they have come under the [e]shelter of my roof.”

New International Version
4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom(A)—both young and old—surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”(B)
6 Lot went outside to meet them(C) and shut the door behind him 7 and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”(D)
