Genesis 20:5-7
New American Standard Bible 1995
5 Did he not himself say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she (A)herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In (B)the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my [a]hands I have done this.” 6 Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also [b](C)kept you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her. 7 Now therefore, restore the man’s wife, for (D)he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours.”

Genesis 20:5-7
New International Version
5 Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister,(A)’ and didn’t she also say, ‘He is my brother’? I have done this with a clear conscience(B) and clean hands.(C)”
6 Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept(D) you from sinning against me.(E) That is why I did not let you touch her. 7 Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet,(F) and he will pray for you(G) and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all who belong to you will die.”(H)
