Genesis 12:11-13

Revised Geneva Translation

¹¹ And when he drew near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “Behold, now, I know that you are a fair woman to look upon.

¹² “Therefore, it will happen that when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘She is his wife.’ So, they will kill me, but they will keep you alive.

¹³ “Say, I implore you, that you are my sister; so that I may fare well because of you, and that my life may be preserved by you.”
