New American Standard Bible
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, “Lord, (A)will You kill a nation, even though [a]blameless? 5 Did he himself not say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she (B)herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In (C)the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my [b]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 [c](D)kept you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her.

4 Now Abimelek had not gone near her, so he said, “Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation?(A) 5 Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister,(B)’ and didn’t she also say, ‘He is my brother’? I have done this with a clear conscience(C) and clean hands.(D)”
6 Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept(E) you from sinning against me.(F) That is why I did not let you touch her.
