Bible verses about "adultery" | CAB

³² "But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for a matter of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorcee commits adultery.

²⁷ "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' ²⁸ But I say to you, that whoever looks at a woman in order to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

⁴ they said to Him, "Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the very act. ⁵ Now Moses, in our law, commanded to cast stones at such. Therefore what do You say?" ⁶ But this they said, testing Him, that they might have an accusation against Him. But Jesus, stooping down, began to write on the ground with His finger, not taking notice. ⁷ And while they were continuing questioning Him, rising up, He said unto them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to cast a stone at her." ⁸ And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. ⁹ And those who heard it began to go out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman being in the midst. ¹⁰ And standing up and seeing no one but the woman, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" ¹¹ She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more."

¹ Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. ² Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. ³ Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. ⁴ The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. ⁵ Do not deprive one another, except by mutual agreement, and that for a season, so that you may devote yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, lest Satan tempt you because of your lack of self-control. ⁶ But I say this as a concession, not as a commandment. ⁷ For I wish that all men would be as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this way and another in that. ⁸ But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they should remain as I also remain; ⁹ but if they are not exercising self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion. ¹⁰ Now to those who have married I command, yet not I, but the Lord: A wife is not to be separated from her husband-- ¹¹ and even if she does separate, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband--and a husband is not to divorce his wife. ¹² But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she consents to live with him, let him not divorce her. ¹³ And a wife who has an unbelieving husband, if he consents to live with her, let her not divorce him. ¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. ¹⁵ But if the unbelieving spouse separates, let him or her separate; the brother or the sister has not been bound in such cases; but God has called us to peace. ¹⁶ For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife? ¹⁷ Otherwise as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I command in all the churches. ¹⁸ Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised. ¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God. ²⁰ Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called. ²¹ Were you called as a slave? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be made free, rather make use of it. ²² For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord's free man. Likewise he who is called as a free man is Christ's slave. ²³ You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men. ²⁴ Brothers, let each one remain with God in the state in which he was called. ²⁵ Now concerning virgins, I have no command of the Lord; but I give judgment, as having received mercy by the Lord to be faithful. ²⁶ Therefore I consider this to be good because of the present distress, that it is good for a man to be as he is: ²⁷ Have you been bound to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Have you been released from a wife? Do not seek a wife. ²⁸ But even if you should marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin should marry, she has not sinned. But such will have trouble in the flesh, and I would spare you. ²⁹ But this I say, brothers, the time has been shortened; so that from now on even those having wives should be as though they had none, ³⁰ and those weeping as though not weeping, and those rejoicing as though not rejoicing, and those buying as though not possessing, ³¹ and those using this world as not using it up. For the form of this world is passing away. ³² But I want you to be without anxiety. The unmarried man cares about the things of the Lord--about how he may please the Lord. ³³ But the man having married cares about the things of the world--about how he may please his wife. ³⁴ And the wife and the virgin are different. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the woman having married cares about the things of the world--about how she may please her husband. ³⁵ And this I say for your own profit, not that I may put a snare upon you, but for that which is proper, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction. ³⁶ But if any man thinks he is behaving improperly toward his virgin, if she is past her prime, and thus it must be, let him do what he desires. He does not sin; let them marry. ³⁷ But he who stands in his heart, not having necessity, but has power over his own desire, and has decided this in his heart that he will keep his virgin, does well. ³⁸ So then he who gives her in marriage does well, but he who does not give her in marriage does better. ³⁹ A wife has been bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband also dies, she is free to be married to whom she desires, only in the Lord. ⁴⁰ But she is more blessed if she remains as she is, in my opinion--and I think I also have the Spirit of God.

²² And if a man be found lying with a woman married to a man, you shall kill them both, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; so shall you remove the wicked one out of Israel.

²⁴ to keep you continually from a married woman, and from the flattery of a strange tongue. ²⁵ Let not the desire of beauty overcome you, neither be caught by her eyes, or captivated with her eyelids. ²⁶ For the value of a harlot is as much as of one loaf of bread, and a woman hunts for the precious souls of men. ²⁷ Shall anyone bind fire in his bosom, and not burn his garments? ²⁸ Or will anyone walk on coals of fire, and not burn his feet? ²⁹ So is he that goes in to a married woman; he shall not be held guiltless, neither anyone that touches her.

¹⁸ Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and everyone who marries a woman who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.

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

¹³ No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation, He will also make the way out, so as for you to be able to bear it.

¹⁴ You shall not commit adultery.

⁹ And I say to you, that whoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marrying a divorcee commits adultery."

²⁸ But I say to you, that whoever looks at a woman in order to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

⁴ Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

³² But the adulterer through lack of understanding procures destruction to his soul.
