Genesis 39
9 “No one here has more authority than I do. He has held back nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God.”
Joseph not only got it right, he got it with the right priority. To cheat his earthly master is to sin against God. To commit adultery is to sin against God. To dishonor those in a position of authority over him is to sin against God. Next time we are tempted to cheat, to dishonor, to fudge, to lie, to take what does not belong to us, etc. how about skipping all the rationalization, and just remembering that to do those things would be to sin against God?
