Genesis 20:4-6
New King James Version
4 But Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, “Lord, (A)will You slay a righteous nation also? 5 Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she, even she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ (B)In the [a]integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this.”
6 And God said to him in a dream, “Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart. For (C)I also withheld you from sinning (D)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.
