Versets liés à Genesis, 39:

Genesis 39 narrates Joseph's story in Egypt, where he is sold as a slave by his brothers and becomes a servant of Potiphar, an Egyptian officer. In the chapter, Joseph is unfairly accused by Potifar's wife of trying to seduce her and is thrown into prison. After all, God is with Joseph and blesses him, allowing him to become a respected administrator in prison. Here are five verses related to the themes of the chapter:

Psalm 105:17-18: "He sent a man before them, Joseph, sold as a slave. They hurt his feet with shackles and thrown him into irons." This verse recalls the moment when Joseph was sold as a slave by his own brothers, showing the cruelty and injustice he suffered.

Proverbs 6:32: "The adulterer has no judgment; destroys himself, ending his own life." The false accusation of Potiphar against Joseph is an example of adulterous temptation. This verse emphasizes the severity of sin and its consequences.

Isaiah 41:10: "Do not fear, for I am with you; I do not haunt, because I am your God; I strengthen you, and help you, and I support you with my faithful right hand." Even in the most difficult situations, such as Joseph's unfair arrest, God remains by our side. This verse emphasizes the importance of faith in God during trials.

2 Timothy 2:22: "Escape from the passions of youth and follow justice, faith, love and peace, together with those who, with pure heart, invoke the Lord." José resisted Potifar's wife's temptation, running away from the situation. This verse encourages us to resist temptations and follow a path of justice and holiness.

Philippians 4:13: "I can do everything in him who strengthens me." Even in the worst circumstances, such as Joseph's unfair arrest, God gives us strength and enables us to overcome our challenges. This verse reminds us that we can face anything with God's help.
