Genesis 39:2-3-17 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

4. Potiphar liked Joseph and made him his personal assistant, putting him in charge of his house and all his property.

5. Because of Joseph, the Lord began to bless Potiphar's family and fields.

6. Potiphar left everything up to Joseph, and with Joseph there, the only decision he had to make was what he wanted to eat.Joseph was well-built and handsome,

7. and Potiphar's wife soon noticed him. She asked him to make love to her,

8. but he refused and said, “My master isn't worried about anything in his house, because he has placed me in charge of everything he owns.

9. No one in my master's house is more important than I am. The only thing he hasn't given me is you, and that's because you are his wife. I won't sin against God by doing such a terrible thing as this.”
