Genesis 20:11-14 New English Translation (NET)

11. Abraham replied, “Because I thought, ‘Surely no one fears God in this place. They will kill me because of my wife.’

12. What’s more, she is indeed my sister, my father’s daughter, but not my mother’s daughter. She became my wife.

13. When God made me wander from my father’s house, I told her, ‘This is what you can do to show your loyalty to me: Every place we go, say about me, “He is my brother.”’”

14. So Abimelech gave sheep, cattle, and male and female servants to Abraham. He also gave his wife Sarah back to him.
