O adultério
O adultério é pecado grave que destrói alianças, famílias e vidas. A Bíblia condena firmemente a infidelidade conjugal e chama à pureza, fidelidade e santidade no casamento.
A lei de Deus
Não adulterarás. Quem comete adultério destrói a própria alma. A Palavra de Deus é clara e direta sobre este pecado.
14 You shall not commit adultery.
10 And the man that commits adultery with another man' wife, even he that commits adultery with his neighbor' wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
20 Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor' wife, to defile yourself with her.
32 But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding: he that does it destroys his own soul.
32 But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding: he that does it destroys his own soul.33 A wound and dishonor shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.
27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?28 Can one go on hot coals, and his feet not be burned?29 So he that goes in to his neighbor' wife; whoever touches her shall not be innocent.
Jesus ensina
Quem olhar para uma mulher com intenção impura já adulterou no coração. Jesus elevou o padrão da pureza.
27 You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not commit adultery:28 But I say to you, That whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
32 But I say to you, That whoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
11 And he said to them, Whoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, commits adultery against her.12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she commits adultery.
18 Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery.
4 They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what say you?6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the oldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the middle.10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you?11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more.
Armadilhas e consequências
Os lábios da mulher estranha destilam mel, mas o seu fim é amargo. Fuja da imoralidade — o adultério escraviza.
3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.6 Lest you should ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that you can not know them.

8 Remove your way far from her, and come not near the door of her house:9 Lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel:10 Lest strangers be filled with your wealth; and your labors be in the house of a stranger;11 And you mourn at the last, when your flesh and your body are consumed,12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to them that instructed me!14 I was almost in all evil in the middle of the congregation and assembly.
19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and be you ravished always with her love.20 And why will you, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
18 For her house inclines to death, and her paths to the dead.19 None that go to her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you would.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, jealousies, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,21 Contentions, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
4 Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication:4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor;5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
4 You adulterers and adulteresses, know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
