If you take care of your character, God will take care of your reputation.

Josephs character seems somewhat odd to a world that caves to temptation, especially the sexual kind, far too easily. Fullfillment was certainly found in Josephs relationship with God and was mainifested in his hasty retreat from a dangerous situation knowing that the outcome of falling into that temptation would surely dishonor God.
NOW that's a character I'd like to emulate!!!

Yes, I agree. The benefits of doing the will of God will always be 100% better than the cost. (Price paid/ dying to self.) I believe we need violent faith. Every day, Every hour, Every time, you think about it, at all times, speak the word. Real freedom/ victory from anything, you have to be violent. Trusting the only thing that will work. THE WORD- TAKE IT!!
Matthew 11:12 says, And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize- a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion].

That's true and also consider that he did the right thing for God and ended up in jail! Not only did he have the character to remain pure... he suffered in faith.
