No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”

ગુજરાતીઉત્પત્તિ ૩૯:૯
આ ઘરમાં મારા કરતાં કોઈ મોટો નથી. તેણે તારા વિના બીજા કશા જ પર મારા માટે રોક લગાવી નથી, કેમ કે તું તેની પત્ની છે. તો પછી આવું મોટું દુષ્કર્મ કરીને હું શા માટે ઈશ્વરનો અપરાધી થાઉં?”
हिन्दीउत्पत्ति ३९:९
इस घर में मुझसे बड़ा कोई नहीं; और उसने तुझे छोड़, जो उसकी पत्नी है; मुझसे कुछ नहीं रख छोड़ा; इसलिए भला, मैं ऐसी बड़ी दुष्टता करके परमेश्वर का अपराधी क्यों बनूँ?”

In context

7After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”

8But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.

9No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”

10As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

11About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
