'Adultery' in the Bible

“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 shall surely be put to death.

‘You shall not commit adultery.

The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense;He who would destroy himself does it.

Because of the lightness of her harlotry, she polluted the land and committed adultery with stones and trees.

“Why should I pardon you?Your sons have forsaken MeAnd sworn by those who are not gods.When I had fed them to the full,They committed adulteryAnd trooped to the harlot’s house.

Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery and swear falsely, and offer sacrifices to Baal and walk after other gods that you have not known,

“Also among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing:The committing of adultery and walking in falsehood;And they strengthen the hands of evildoers,So that no one has turned back from his wickedness.All of them have become to Me like Sodom,And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.

because they have acted foolishly in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives and have spoken words in My name falsely, which I did not command them; and I am He who knows and am a witness,” declares the Lord.’”

Thus I will judge you like women who commit adultery or shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.

For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. Thus they have committed adultery with their idols and even caused their sons, whom they bore to Me, to pass through the fire to them as food.

“Then I said concerning her who was worn out by adulteries, ‘Will they now commit adultery with her when she is thus?’

“Contend with your mother, contend,For she is not my wife, and I am not her husband;And let her put away her harlotry from her faceAnd her adultery from between her breasts,

There is swearing, deception, murder, stealing and adultery.They employ violence, so that bloodshed follows bloodshed.

They offer sacrifices on the tops of the mountainsAnd burn incense on the hills,Under oak, poplar and terebinth,Because their shade is pleasant.Therefore your daughters play the harlotAnd your brides commit adultery.

I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlotOr your brides when they commit adultery,For the men themselves go apart with harlotsAnd offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes;So the people without understanding are ruined.

“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 unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

Then he *said to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not commit murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness;

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.”

You know the commandments, ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’”

“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.

You know the commandments, ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.’”

The scribes and the Pharisees *brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court,

they *said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act.

You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

For this, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

having eyes full of adultery that never cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children;

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.
