Good News Translation
11 Abraham answered, “I thought that there would be no one here who has reverence for God and that they would kill me to get my wife. 12 She really is my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but not of my mother, and I married her. 13 So when God sent me from my father's house into foreign lands, I said to her, ‘You can show how loyal you are to me by telling everyone that I am your brother.’”

New International Version
11 Abraham replied, “I said to myself, ‘There is surely no fear of God(A) in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.’(B) 12 Besides, she really is my sister,(C) the daughter of my father though not of my mother; and she became my wife. 13 And when God had me wander(D) from my father’s household,(E) I said to her, ‘This is how you can show your love to me: Everywhere we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”’”
