Avram did not recognize that going down to Egypt was going to endanger Sarai until it was too late.

It was legitimate to put Sarai in potential danger if in so doing Avram's life was to be saved.

Avram planned on saving both himslef and Sarai and never intended to save himself at her expense.

Avram's actions in descending to Egypt and endangering Sari were problematic and Avram was punished for them.
