Genesis 39:7-9
7And it came about after these events 1that his master’s wife 2had her eyes on Joseph, and she said, “3Sleep with me.”
8But 4he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, with me here, my master 5does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has 6put me in charge of all that he owns.
978There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil, and 9sin against God?”
