O Adultério

11 He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. 12 If a woman herself divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."


14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit.

He who is under Yahweh’s wrath will fall into it.


16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.


19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.


32 but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.


3 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey.

Her mouth is smoother than oil,

4 but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood,

and as sharp as a two-edged sword.

5 Her feet go down to death.

Her steps lead straight to Sheol.

6 She gives no thought to the way of life.

Her ways are crooked, and she doesn’t know it.

7 Now therefore, my sons, listen to me.

Don’t depart from the words of my mouth.

8 Remove your way far from her.

Don’t come near the door of her house,

9 lest you give your honor to others,

and your years to the cruel one;


4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

4 but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood,

and as sharp as a two-edged sword.

Her ways are crooked, and she doesn’t know it.


21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. 22 Behold, I will throw her and those who commit adultery with her into a bed of great oppression, unless they repent of her works.


10 "‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.


18 "Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.


4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.


14 "You shall not commit adultery.


27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap,

and his clothes not be burned?

28 Or can one walk on hot coals,

and his feet not be scorched?

29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife.

Whoever touches her will not be unpunished.


18 Flee sexual immorality! "Every sin that a man does is outside the body," but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.


19 A loving doe and a graceful deer—

let her breasts satisfy you at all times.

Be captivated always with her love.

20 For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress?

Why embrace the bosom of another?


20 "‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, and defile yourself with her.


19 Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.


8 Remove your way far from her.

Don’t come near the door of her house,

9 lest you give your honor to others,

and your years to the cruel one;

10 lest strangers feast on your wealth,

and your labors enrich another man’s house.

11 You will groan at your latter end,

when your flesh and your body are consumed,

12 and say, "How I have hated instruction,

and my heart despised reproof.

13 I haven’t obeyed the voice of my teachers,

nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!

14 I have come to the brink of utter ruin,

among the gathered assembly."


32 He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding.

He who does it destroys his own soul.


32 He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding.

He who does it destroys his own soul.

33 He will get wounds and dishonor.

His reproach will not be wiped away.

34 For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband.

He won’t spare in the day of vengeance.

35 He won’t regard any ransom,

neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.


27 "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’ 28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.


18 for her house leads down to death,

her paths to the departed spirits.

19 None who go to her return again,

neither do they attain to the paths of life.


4 they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?" 6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of.

But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger. 7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her." 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle. 10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, "Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?"

11 She said, "No one, Lord."

Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more."
