Genesis 39:7-9
New King James Version
7 And it came to pass after these things that his master’s wife [a]cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, (A)“Lie with me.”
8 But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand. 9 There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. (B)How then can I do this great wickedness, and (C)sin against God?”
