Joseph and Potiphar’s Wife
9No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”10Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.11One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.
