Gen 20:4

Gen 20:4But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, wilt thou also kill a righteous nation?

Gen 20:5

Gen 20:5Did he not say to me, She is my sister? and she, even she said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and in the innocency of my hands have I done this.

Gen 20:6

Gen 20:6And God said to him in a dream, I also knew that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart, and I, too, have withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore have I not suffered thee to touch her.

Gen 20:7

Gen 20:10

Gen 20:10And Abimelech said to Abraham, What hast thou seen that thou hast done this?

Gen 20:11

Gen 20:13

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
