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.
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, 'Thou shalt not commit adultery.'28 But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman with lustful thoughts has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
32 But I say to you that every one who divorces his wife, unless for the cause of unchastity, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
19 For from the heart proceed wicked thoughts, murders, adulteries, unchastities, thefts, perjuries, profane words.
11 He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.12 And if a wife divorces her husband and marries another she commits adultery."
18 "Every one who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
4 they said to him, "Teacher, this woman was taken in the very act of adultery.5 In the Law Moses commanded to stone such. What do you say?"6 This they said, testing him, to have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped over and wrote with his finger on the ground.7 As they kept on questioning him, he lifted himself up and said to them, "Let the sinless one among you be the first to throw a stone at her,"8 and again he stooped over and went on writing on the ground.9 After hearing that, they passed out one by one, beginning with the older men, and he was left alone and the woman there in the center.10 Jesus raised himself up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one sentenced you?"11 She said, "No one, Sir." Jesus said, "Neither do I sentence you. Go. From now on 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.
18 Shun unchastity. Every other sin that a man does is apart from the body, but the unchaste sins against his own body.
16 I say, walk in the Spirit and you will not carry out the passions of the flesh.17 For the flesh has passions contrary to the Spirit and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do whatever you wish.
19 The works of the flesh are obvious, such as unchastity, impurity, indecency,20 idolatry, magic, hatred, strife, jealousy, anger, rivalries, dissensions, factions,21 envyings, drinking bouts, revelries, and the like. Of these I tell you beforehand, as I have already told you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
4 Let marriage be held in honor by all and let the bed be undefiled; for unchaste persons and adulterers God will judge.
3 For this is the will of God: to have you become holy and have you shun unchastity;4 to have each of you know how to take a wife for himself in holiness and honor,5 not in the passion of lust, as the Gentiles do who know not God;
4 You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever chooses to be a friend to the world stands as an enemy of God.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she will not repent of her unchastity.22 See, I will cast her into a bed and those who commit adultery with her into great distress, unless they repent of their deeds,
