Gen 39:11
And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
12
And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
Rom. 6:11
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
I've always noticed in that part of the scripture that there were no other men in the HOUSE when Joseph was approached by Potiphar's wife. He understood that it was not man that he had to be concerned with but with God.
Romans says that we as Christians, believers, those of us that are endowed with Power from on High, are to consider ourselves dead to the sins of this world.
Why in the church today, do we still have to hear excuses such as the way a woman dresses? (men too) but we hear this in reference to women more.
Should we not rejoice to see the prostitute come scantly dressed into the house of the Lord, just as she is, to be transformed by the Holy Spirit . without worrying about the brothers losing their minds in Christ? (I know that's extreme, to some)
Where are our Josephs?
