He believed that God would be with him. Joseph made up his mind to be loyal to God. In the trial, Joseph suddenly changed from a proud child to a child. A prudent, brave, and composed person.

In summary, it is: teaching people how to fish is worse than teaching people how to fish. The law of his survival.
Joseph was sold to the house of Potiphar, the chief guard of the Egyptian pharaoh, where he was there for ten years, and what Joseph faced was not ordinary temptation, one without freedom It is impossible for slaves to maintain their pure faith. Moreover, Egypt is an idolatry country, but because God is with him,Joseph did it, and his faith was recognized and respected by his master. Joseph found favor in the eyes of his master, and the master sent him to manage the housework and put everything in his hands.
