Joseph resisted the temptation presented to him by Potiphar's wife for two reasons:
1. Respect for His Master - 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. 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." (Genesis 39;8-9; NKJV).
2. Holiness before God - "How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" (Genesis 39:9; NKJV)
If we will respect others and practice holiness before God, we too can overcome the temptations in our lives.
