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 do not commit adultery.
And a man who commits adultery with a man’s wife—who commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor—the adulterer and the adulteress are surely put to death.
And you do not give your seed [from] intercourse to the wife of your fellow, to become unclean with her.
He who commits adultery [with] a woman lacks heart, || He who does it is destroying his soul.
He who commits adultery [with] a woman lacks heart, || He who does it is destroying his soul. He finds a stroke and shame, || And his reproach is not wiped away, For jealousy [is] the fury of a man, || And he does not spare in a day of vengeance. He does not accept the appearance of any atonement, || Indeed, he does not consent, || Though you multiply bribes!
Does a man take fire into his bosom, || And are his garments not burned? Does a man walk on the hot coals, || And are his feet not scorched? So [is] he who has gone in to the wife of his neighbor, || None who touches her is innocent.
Jesus ensina
Quem olhar para uma mulher com intenção impura já adulterou no coração. Jesus elevou o padrão da pureza.
You heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not commit adultery; but I say to you that everyone who is looking on a woman to desire her, already committed adultery with her in his heart.
but I say to you that whoever may put away his wife, except for the matter of whoredom, makes her to commit adultery; and whoever may marry her who has been put away commits adultery.
for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, slanders:
and He says to them, "Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, commits adultery against her; and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to another, she commits adultery."
Everyone who is sending his wife away, and marrying another, commits adultery; and everyone who is marrying her sent away from a husband commits adultery.
they say to Him, "Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime [of] committing adultery, and in the Law, Moses commanded us that such be stoned; You, therefore, what do You say?" And this they said, trying Him, that they might have to accuse Him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger He was writing on the ground, and when they continued asking Him, having bent Himself back, He said to them, "The sinless of you—let him cast the first stone at her"; and again having stooped down, He was writing on the ground, and they having heard, and being convicted by the conscience, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders—to the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. And Jesus having bent Himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, "Woman, where are those—your accusers? Did no one pass sentence on you?" And she said, "No one, Lord"; and Jesus said to her, "Neither do I pass sentence on you; be going on, 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.
For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, || And her mouth [is] smoother than oil, And her latter end [is] bitter as wormwood, || Sharp as a sword [with] mouths. Her feet are going down to death, || Her steps take hold of Sheol. The path of life—lest you ponder, || Her paths have moved—you do not know.

And now, you sons, listen to me, || And do not turn from sayings of my mouth. Keep your way far from off her, || And do not come near to the opening of her house, Lest you give your splendor to others, || And your years to the fierce,
Keep your way far from off her, || And do not come near to the opening of her house, Lest you give your splendor to others, || And your years to the fierce, Lest strangers be filled [with] your power, || And your labors in the house of a stranger, And you have howled in your latter end, || In the consumption of your flesh and your food, And have said, "How I have hated instruction, || And my heart has despised reproof, And I have not listened to the voice of my teachers, || And have not inclined my ear to my teachers. As a little thing I have been all evil, || In the midst of an assembly and a congregation."
A doe of loves, and a roe of grace! Let her loves satisfy you at all times, || Magnify yourself in her love continually. And why do you magnify yourself, || My son, with a stranger? And embrace the bosom of a strange woman?
For her house has inclined to death, || And her paths to Rephaim. None going in to her return, || Nor do they reach the paths of life.
The mouth of strange women [is] a deep pit, || The abhorred of YHWH falls there.
flee the whoredom; every sin—whatever a man may commit—is outside the body, and he who is committing whoredom sins against his own body.
And I say, walk in the Spirit, and you may not fulfill the desire of the flesh; for the flesh desires contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed to one another, that the things that you may will—these you may not do;
And the works of the flesh are also evident, which are: adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, licentiousness, idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, strife, jealousy, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects, envyings, murders, drunkenness, reveling, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
The marriage [is to be] honored by all, and the bed undefiled, for God will judge whoremongers and adulterers.
for this is the will of God—your sanctification: that you abstain from the whoredom, that each of you know to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,
Adulterers and adulteresses! Have you not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever, then, may intend to be a friend of the world, he is designated [as] an enemy of God.
and I gave to her a time that she might convert from her whoredom, and she did not convert; behold, I will cast her into a bed, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation—if they may not convert from her works,
