Genesis 39:7-9
EasyEnglish Bible
7 After some time had passed, Potiphar's wife saw that Joseph was handsome. She said, ‘Come to bed with me!’ 8 But Joseph refused to do that. He said, ‘My master does not need to think about anything in the house. I take care of everything that belongs to him. 9 No one has more authority in this house than I do. My master keeps nothing from me, except you. That is because you are his wife. I could not do such a bad thing. I could not do a sin that is against God.’

7 And it happened after these events (A)that his master’s wife [a]set her eyes on Joseph and said, “(B)Lie with me.” 8 But (C)he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, with me here, my master [b]does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has given all that he owns into my hand. 9 [c](D)There 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 (E)sin against God?”
