1 Corinthians 13:4, Charity Suffereth Long (2)
The biblical character Joseph, described in the Book of Genesis, was sold at 16 by his jealous brothers as a slave to Egypt. He had to undergo great sufferings as a slave. He was thrown into jail because he acted righteously against the advances of his master’s wife. Subsequently, he was given wisdom to interpret the dream of Pharaoh. God helped him to make good to be released from prison and promoted to 2nd in command to manage the coming famine that he predicted from Pharaoh’s dream.
