And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar.
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman whom thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.
Now Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay even a righteous nation?
Said he not himself unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and the innocency of my hands have I done this.
And God said unto him in the dream, Yea, I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou has done this, and I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
Now therefore restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.

to the praise of the glory of his grace, {Or, wherewith he endued us}which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:
Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world.
But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob;Neither hath he seen {Or, trouble}perverseness in Israel:Jehovah his God is with him,And the shout of a king is among them.
How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob,Thy tabernacles, O Israel!
And Jehovah said unto Satan, Jehovah rebuke thee, O Satan; yea, Jehovah that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,And do my prophets no harm.
And Jehovah shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? {Or, Shall God that justifieth?}It is God that justifieth;
who is he that condemneth? {Or, Shall Christ Jesus that died…us?}It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion:In the covert of his {Hebrew: tent.}tabernacle will he hide me;He will lift me up upon a rock.
And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me;And I will offer in his {Hebrew: tent.}tabernacle sacrifices of {Or, shouting Or, trumpet-sounding}joy;I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah.
