Genesis 12:11-13

11It came about when he 1came near to Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a 23beautiful woman;

124and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they will kill me, but they will let you live.

13Please say that you are 5my sister so that it may go well with me because of you, and that 67I may live on account of you.”
