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 there is a man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, one who commits adultery with his friend’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.
And you shall not have sexual intercourse with your neighbor’s wife, to be defiled with her.
One who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense;
He who would destroy himself commits it.
One who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense;
He who would destroy himself commits it.
He will find wounds and disgrace,
And his shame will not be removed.
For jealousy enrages a man,
And he will not have compassion on the day of vengeance.
He will not accept any settlement,
Nor will he be satisfied though you make it a large gift.
Can anyone take fire in his lap
And his clothes not be burned?
Or can a person walk on hot coals
And his feet not be scorched?
So is the one who goes in to his neighbor’s wife;
Whoever touches her will not 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, ‘You shall not commit adultery’;but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, acts of adultery, other immoral sexual acts, thefts, false testimonies, andslanderous statements.
And He *said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery."
"Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
they *said to Him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?" Now they were saying this to test Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. When they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Now when they heard this, they began leaving, one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman where she was, in the center of the courtyard.And straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on do not sin any longer."]]
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 an adulteress drip honey,
And her speech is smoother than oil;
But in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
Sharp as a two-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death,
Her steps take hold of Sheol.
She does not ponder the path of life;
Her ways are unstable, she does not know it.

Now then, my sons, listen to me
And do not turn away from the words of my mouth.
Keep your way far from her,
And do not go near the door of her house,
Otherwise you will give your vigor to others,
And your years to the cruel one;
Keep your way far from her,
And do not go near the door of her house,
Otherwise you will give your vigor to others,
And your years to the cruel one;
And strangers will be filled with your strength,
And your hard-earned possessions will go to the house of a foreigner;
And you will groan in the end,
When your flesh and your body are consumed;
And you say, "How I hated instruction!
And my heart disdainfully rejected rebuke!
"I did not listen to the voice of my teachers,
Nor incline my ear to my instructors!
"I was almost in total ruin
In the midst of the assembly and congregation."
Like a loving doe and a graceful mountain goat,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
Be exhilarated always with her love.
For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress,
And embrace the breasts of a foreigner?
For her house sinks down to death,
And her tracks lead to the dead;
None who go to her return,
Nor do they reach the paths of life.
The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit;
He who is cursed of the Lord will fall into it.
Flee sexual immorality. Every other sin that a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the desire of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, in order to keep you from doing whatever you want.
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality, impurity, indecent behavior, idolatry, witchcraft, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification 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 wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her sexual immorality.Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds.
