What does the Bible say about adultery and divorce?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that adultery is a serious sin and teaches that divorce should only occur in cases of unfaithfulness.

The biblical stance on adultery and divorce is made clear in Matthew 5:31-32, where Jesus states that divorce is permissible only for the cause of fornication. Adultery is not merely an act but begins in the heart, as highlighted in Matthew 5:27-28, which shows that even lustful thoughts can be equated to adultery. The law magnifies the seriousness of sin, revealing the exceeding sinfulness of our actions and thoughts. Jesus underscores that marriage is a sacred covenant that should not be broken lightly, as He pointed out that what God has joined together, let no man separate. Therefore, the importance of cherishing marital vows and recognizing the ramifications of sin cannot be overstated, as the consequences can lead to both spiritual and personal distress.
