Exodus 20:14

Do not commit adultery.

You are not to have sexual intercourse with your neighbor’s wife, defiling yourself with her.

If a man commits adultery with a married woman—if he commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.

Marriage must be respected by all, and the marriage bed kept undefiled, because God will judge immoral people and adulterers.

Do not commit adultery.

David sent messengers to get her, and when she came to him, he slept with her. Now she had just been purifying herself from her uncleanness. Afterward, she returned home.

When the time of mourning ended, David had her brought to his house. She became his wife and bore him a son. However, the Lord considered what David had done to be evil.

whose paths are crooked,
and whose ways are devious.

They will protect you from an evil woman,
from the flattering tongue of a stranger.

Come, let’s drink deeply of lovemaking until morning.
Let’s feast on each other’s love!

They are well-fed, eager stallions,
each neighing after someone else’s wife.

Based on what happens to them, all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon will create a curse that says, ‘May the Lord make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire!’

“I will come to you in judgment, and I will be ready to witness against sorcerers and adulterers; against those who swear falsely; against those who oppress the widow and the fatherless, and cheat the wage earner; and against those who deny justice to the foreigner. They do not fear Me,” says the Lord of Hosts.

“You have heard that it was said, Do not commit adultery.

“Which ones?” he asked Him. Jesus answered:

Do not murder;
do not commit adultery;
do not steal;
do not bear false witness;

And He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.

For example, a married woman is legally bound to her husband while he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law regarding the husband.

The commandments:

Do not commit adultery;
do not murder;
do not steal;
do not covet;

and whatever other commandment—all are summed up by this: Love your neighbor as yourself.

But sexual immorality and any impurity or greed should not even be heard of among you, as is proper for saints.

Adulteresses! Don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? So whoever wants to be the world’s friend becomes God’s enemy.

But the cowards, unbelievers, vile, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars—their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
