Exodus 20:14
“You shall not commit adultery.

I Corinthians 6:15-20
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Proverbs 6:32
Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who does so destroys his own soul.

Song of Solomon 3:5
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases.

Matthew 5:27-28
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Genesis 39:7
And it came to pass after these things that his master’s wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, “Lie with me.”

II Samuel 11:2, II Samuel 11:4
Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold.

Then David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her, for she was cleansed from her impurity; and she returned to her house.

Job 31:1
“I have made a covenant with my eyes; Why then should I look upon a young woman?

Genesis 2:24
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Most people think the Ten Commandments are a list of rules / Do’s & Don’ts. But actually, the Ten Commandments are principles for living. Those principles enhance our relationships with God and other people.

Exodus 20:14 — You shall not commit adultery.”

1. YOU CAN COMMIT ADULTERY IN YOUR BODY

God designed you to have full pleasure in your marriage

2. YOU CAN COMMIT ADULTERY IN YOUR SOUL

The soul is made up of your: Mind, Will & Emotions.
Any thought or feeling toward another person that is inappropriate, outside of marriage is committing adultery.

3. YOU CAN COMMIT ADULTERY IN YOUR SPIRIT

If you are “joined” to God and you commit adultery, you leave your intimacy with God and your spirit is opened up to all kinds of demonic spirits that can destroy your life. (lying, manipulation, deception)

What can a person do?
•Confess and repent – get it out into the light.
•Forgive if you are the offended party
