Oh they lied to Pharaoh, fearing the lord does not mean they did not lie to Pharaoh.
Abraham feared the lord but still “Lied” that Sarah is his sister.
I guess what I am saying is absolutism in Christianity (when dealing with a lesser authority(pharaoh) and a higher authority (God) if the expectation of the lesser authority contradicts that of the higher authority lying to the lesser authority is not counter as sin. In this case their fear of God caused them to lie to Pharaoh(the lesser authority)
