Bible verses about "adultery" | ACV

³² But I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife apart from a matter of fornication, disposes her to commit adultery, and whoever may marry her who has been divorced commits adultery.

²⁷ Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shall not commit adultery. ²⁸ But I say to you, that every man who looks on a woman to crave her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

⁴ tempting, they say to him, Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the act. ⁵ Now in the law, Moses commanded us such women are to be stoned. What therefore do thou say about her? ⁶ But they said this, trying him, so that they might have an accusation against him. But Jesus having stooped down, wrote on the ground with his finger, not pretending. ⁷ And when they continued asking him, after standing erect, he said to them, Let the innocent man of you first cast the stone at her. ⁸ And again having stooped down, he wrote on the ground. ⁹ And they, having heard and being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, having begun from the elder until the last. And Jesus was left behind alone, and the woman being in the midst. ¹⁰ And Jesus, after standing erect, and having seen no man but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those accusers of thee? Did no man condemn thee? ¹¹ And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee. Go, and henceforth sin no more.

¹ Now concerning the things of which ye wrote to me. It is good for a man not to touch a woman. ² But because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. ³ Let the husband render the goodwill owed to the wife, and likewise also the wife to the husband. ⁴ The wife has not the right of her private body, but the husband, and likewise also the husband has not the right of his private body, but the wife. ⁵ Do not defraud each other except from agreement for a time, so that ye may have time for fasting and prayer. And come together again for the same thing, so that Satan not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. ⁶ But I say this from concession not from commandment. ⁷ For I wish all men to be even as myself. However each man has his own gift from God, one in this way, and another after that. ⁸ But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I. ⁹ But if they have no self-control they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn. ¹⁰ And to those who are married, I do not command but the Lord. The wife is not to separate from her husband. ¹¹ But even if she separates, she shall remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to leave his wife. ¹² But to the rest I say, not the Lord. If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and this woman consents to dwell with him, he should not leave her. ¹³ And whichever woman has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, she should not leave him. ¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified by the husband, then otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. ¹⁵ But if the unbeliever separates, he shall separate. The brother or the sister has not been bound in such things. And God has called us to peace. ¹⁶ For how do thou know, O wife, whether thou will save thy husband? Or how will thou know, O husband, whether thou will save thy wife? ¹⁷ Except, as God has distributed to each man, as the Lord has called each, so let him walk. And so I command in all the congregations. ¹⁸ Was any man called circumcised? He should not become uncircumcised. Was any man called in uncircumcision? He should not be circumcised. ¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, instead, the keeping of God's commandments. ²⁰ Each man, in the situation in which he was called, in this he should remain. ²¹ Were thou called being a bondman? It should not concern thee. However if also thou are able to become free, take advantage of it instead. ²² For he who was called in the Lord a bondman is a freedman of the Lord. Likewise also he who was called a free man is a bondman of Christ. ²³ Ye were bought with a price, become not bondmen of men. ²⁴ Brothers, each man, in what he was called, should remain in this before God. ²⁵ Now concerning the virgins I have no commandment of the Lord, but I give an opinion, as having obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy. ²⁶ I suppose therefore this to be good because of the present distress, that it is good for a man to be this way: ²⁷ Are thou bound to a wife? Do not seek separation. Are thou free from a wife? Do not seek a wife. ²⁸ But also if thou did marry thou have not sinned, and if the virgin married she has not sinned. Yet such kind will have stress in the flesh, but I spare you. ²⁹ But this I say, brothers, the time is shortened. It is the remaining, so that also those who have wives may be as not having, ³⁰ and those who weep, as not weeping, and those who rejoice, as not rejoicing, and those who buy, as not possessing, ³¹ and those who use this world, as not making full use, for the form of this world passes away. ³² But I want you to be without worry. The unmarried man cares for things of the Lord, how he will please the Lord. ³³ But he who is married cares for things of the world, how he will please his wife. ³⁴ And the wife and the virgin are differentiated. The unmarried woman is concerned for the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married is concerned for the things of the world, how she will please her husband. ³⁵ And I say this for your own benefit, not that I may cast restraint upon you, but for what is respectable and assiduous toward the Lord, undistracted. ³⁶ But if any man thinks to behave improperly toward his virgin, if it is past the best time, and so ought to happen, she should do what she wants, she does not sin, they should marry. ³⁷ But he who stands firm in his heart, not having necessity, but has power based upon his own will, and has decided this in his heart, to keep his own celibacy, does well. ³⁸ And therefore he who gives in marriage does well, but he who does not give in marriage does better. ³⁹ A wife is bound by law as long a time as her husband lives, but also if the husband should sleep, she is free to be married to whom she desires, only in the Lord. ⁴⁰ But she is more blessed if she remains this way according to my opinion. And I also seem to have Spirit of God.

²² If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman. So shall thou put away the evil from Israel.

²⁴ to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the stranger's tongue. ²⁵ Do not lust after her beauty in thy heart, nor let her take thee with her eyelids. ²⁶ For the price of a harlot is as much as a piece of bread, but the adulteress hunts for the precious life. ²⁷ Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? ²⁸ Or can a man walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be scorched? ²⁹ So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife. Whoever touches her shall not be unpunished.

¹⁸ Every man who divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery, and every man who marries her who has been divorced from a husband commits adultery.

¹⁸ Flee fornication. Every sin, whatever a man may do, is outside the body, but he who fornicates sins against his own body.

¹³ No temptation has taken you except is common to man. But God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted above what ye are able, but with the temptation will also make the way to escape, to enable you to endure.

¹⁴ Thou shall not commit adultery.

⁹ And I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife, not for fornication, and will marry another, commits adultery. And he who married her who has been divorced commits adultery.

²⁸ But I say to you, that every man who looks on a woman to crave her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

⁴ Marriage is precious in every way, and the undefiled bed, but God will judge fornicators and adulterers.

³² He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who would destroy his own soul does it.
