Genesis 39:10-15
New International Version (NIV)
10 And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her.
11 One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. 12 She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.
13 When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, 14 she called her household servants. “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. 15 When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
Joseph avoided Potiphar's wife as much as possible. He refused her advances and finally RAN from her. Sometimes merely trying to avoid temptation is not enough. We must turn and RUN, especially when temptations seem very strong, as is often the case in sexual temptations.
