Genesis 20:3-6
New Living Translation
3 But that night God came to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “You are a dead man, for that woman you have taken is already married!”
4 But Abimelech had not slept with her yet, so he said, “Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation? 5 Didn’t Abraham tell me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘Yes, he is my brother.’ I acted in complete innocence! My hands are clean.”
6 In the dream God responded, “Yes, I know you are innocent. That’s why I kept you from sinning against me, and why I did not let you touch her.

Genesis 20:3-6
New International Version
3 But God came to Abimelek(A) in a dream(B) one night and said to him, “You are as good as dead(C) because of the woman you have taken; she is a married woman.”(D)
4 Now Abimelek had not gone near her, so he said, “Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation?(E) 5 Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister,(F)’ and didn’t she also say, ‘He is my brother’? I have done this with a clear conscience(G) and clean hands.(H)”
6 Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept(I) you from sinning against me.(J) That is why I did not let you touch her.
