“And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.”
Abraham adds that Sarah really is his sister, the daughter of his father though not of his mother, and she became his wife. The half-truth is finally fully disclosed. The information makes the deception technically accurate but substantively false — the statement was designed to produce a wrong impression, and it did. 2 Corinthians 4:2 calls for renouncing underhanded ways and refusing to practice cunning. The application: the fact that something is technically true does not make its use honest.
