In Leviticus, anyone committing adultery was killed immediately to wipe out all wickedness.
In Lev. 21:7, it is specifically forbidden for a priest to marry a divorced woman... must marry a

Isaiah 57:3-14 is about spiritual adultery

I Cor. 6:9 through 7:17 fully explains sexual purity and the purpose of it -- using your body for
the purpose it was created -- as a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit -- a vessel consecrated to
God.

Heb. 13:4 Says to honor your marriage and its vows and to be pure and warns that God will

Prov. 6:20 - Obey instructions of parents - resist any temptation from prostitutes and
adulteresses - no excuse for adultery - only a fool would do such a thing

Hos. 5:3 - Speaks of a Spirit of Adultery

Rom. 7:3 – Okay’s remarriage after death of a spouse. Rom. 7:4 - says you “died” on the
cross with Christ. Your “husband” was the Jewish Law. Since you are “dead”, you are no
longer married to the law - it has no more control over you. Be led by the Spirit of God. Now
you are married to Christ. Now you can really serve God -- not just keep a set of rules, but
with all of your heart and mind.

Rom. 8:4 - So now we can obey God’s laws instead of our old sinful nature, if we are led by
the Spirit of God. Being led by your old nature pleases yourself, but being led by the Spirit of
God pleases God.

Ezel 23:45 - Spiritual adultery is idolatry - worshipping other Gods.

Matt. 5:27-28 - Even a look of lust toward a woman is adultery in your heart. Gouge out your
eye rather than wind up in hell fire.

Matt. 5:31 - Law of Moses says if anyone wants to be rid of his wife, he can divorce her by
merely giving her a letter of dismissal. Verse 32 - But I say that a man who divorces his wife
except for fornication causes her to commit adultery if she marries again. And, he who
marries her commits adultery.

I Cor. 7:10 - A wife is not to depart from her husband, but even if she does depart, let her
remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.

I Cor. 7:27 - Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife?
Do not seek a wife. [speaking of the state you are in when salvation comes]

I Cor. 7:29 - The time is short, so from now on, even those that have wives should be as
though they had none. He who is unmarried cares for the things of God - how he may please
the Lord. But, he who is married cares about the things of the world - how he may please his
wife. Verse 35 - and, this is what I say for your own profit - not that I may put a leash on you,
but for what is proper and that you may serve the Lord without distractions.

Matt. 19:8 - Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your
wives, but from the beginning it was not so.

marries another commits adultery and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.

accusers departed when Jesus suggested that the one without sin should cast the first stone.

condemn you. Go and sin no more.”

John 8:12 - Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in
darkness but have the light of life.”

Rom. 2:22 - Jesus points out the Jews to be just as guilty as the gentiles in keeping the
law...”You who say do not commit adultery, do you commit adultery?”

Rom. 13:9 - All the commandments are summed up in this statement: You shall love your
neighbor as yourself. Vs. 10 - Love does no harm to a neighbor: therefore, love is the fulfilling
of the law.

Eph. 5:19 - Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath,
selfish ambitions, dissentions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, reveilles - those who
practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS: LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONG-SUFFERING, KINDNESS, GOODNESS,
FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, SELF CONTROL. There is no law against any of these!

James 2:10 - For whoever shall keep the whole law and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of
all. Vs 11 - For he who said “Do not commit adultery also said do not murder.” Now if you do
not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. Vs 12 -
So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty. Vs 13 - For judgment is
without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

II Peter 2: False Teachers having eyes full of adultery

Rev. 2: 21&22 [speaking of Jezebel] “And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality
and she did not repent. Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed and those who commit adultery
with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. I will kill her children with
death and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And, I
will give to each one of you according to your works.”
