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.
You shall not commit adultery.
If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife— with the wife of his neighbor— both the adulterer and the adulteress must surely be put to death.
You must not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife and thus defile yourself with her.
He who commits adultery lacks judgment;
whoever does so destroys himself.
He who commits adultery lacks judgment;
whoever does so destroys himself.
Wounds and dishonor will befall him,
and his reproach will never be wiped away.
For jealousy enrages a husband,
and he will show no mercy in the day of vengeance.
He will not be appeased by any ransom,
or persuaded by lavish gifts.
Can a man embrace fire
and his clothes not be burned?
Can a man walk on hot coals
without scorching his feet?
So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife;
no one who touches her will go unpunished.
Jesus ensina
Quem olhar para uma mulher com intenção impura já adulterou no coração. Jesus elevou o padrão da pureza.
You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her. And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.
So He told them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."
Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
and said, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?"
They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.
When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her." And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.
When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there. Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?"
"No one, Lord," she answered.
"Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Now 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.
Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey
and her speech is smoother than oil,
in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
sharp as a double-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to Sheol.
She does not consider the path of life;
she does not know that her ways are unstable.

So now, my sons, listen to me,
and do not turn aside from the words of my mouth.
Keep your path far from her;
do not go near the door of her house,
lest you concede your vigor to others,
and your years to one who is cruel;
Keep your path far from her;
do not go near the door of her house,
lest you concede your vigor to others,
and your years to one who is cruel;
lest strangers feast on your wealth,
and your labors enrich the house of a foreigner.
At the end of your life you will groan
when your flesh and your body are spent,
and you will say, "How I hated discipline,
and my heart despised reproof!
I did not listen to the voice of my teachers
or incline my ear to my mentors.
I am on the brink of utter ruin
in the midst of the whole assembly."
A loving doe, a graceful fawn—
may her breasts satisfy you always;
may you be captivated by her love forever.
Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress,
or embrace the bosom of a stranger?
For her house sinks down to death,
and her tracks to the departed spirits.
None who go to her return
or negotiate the paths of life.
The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit;
he who is under the wrath of the LORD will fall into it.
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want.
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
For it is God’s will that you should be holy: You must abstain from sexual immorality; each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God;
You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God.
Even though I have given her time to repent of her immorality, she is unwilling.
Behold, I will cast her onto a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer great tribulation unless they repent of her deeds.
