What does the Bible say about adultery?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible clearly states that adultery is a serious sin, as expressed in the Seventh Commandment, 'Thou shalt not commit adultery.'

The Bible teaches that adultery, defined as unfaithfulness to the marriage covenant, is a great sin and a violation of God's law. In Matthew 5:27-28, Jesus expands the understanding of adultery to include not just the physical act but also the lustful intentions of the heart. According to Matthew 15:19, the heart is where evil thoughts, including adulteries, originate. This underscores the serious nature of sin, as it begins in the heart before manifesting in actions.
