Hardships Prepared Joseph for Exalted Position—The part which Joseph acted in connection with the scenes of the gloomy prison, was that which raised him finally to prosperity and honor. God designed that he should obtain an experience by temptations, adversity, and hardships, to prepare him to fill an exalted position (Spiritual Gifts 3:146).{1BC 1097.5}

Vanskelighederne forberedte Josef til den ophøjede position. - Det var den rolle som Josef spillede i det mørke fængsel, der til slut hævede ham til lykke og ære. Gud ville, at han skulle opnå erfaringer gennem fristelser, modgang og vanskeligheder for at berede ham til at udfylde en ophøjet stilling. (3SG 146).
