1). Joseph’s righteous reaction to the attempts of Potiphar’s wife fit exactly to the New Testament instruction.
a). 1 Corinthians 6:15-20 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
6:16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
b). Genesis 39:7-9 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
39:8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
39:9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
c). Proverbs 7:1-27 :My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
17:2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
17:3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
17:4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
17:5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
17:6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
17:7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
17:8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
17:9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
17:10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
17:11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
17:12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
17:13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
17:14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
17:15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
17:16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
17:17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
17:18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
17:19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
17:20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
17:21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
17:22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
17:23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
17:24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
17:25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
17:26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
17:27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
