What does the Bible say about committing adultery?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that committing adultery includes physical actions and lustful thoughts, as clarified by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.

The Bible teaches that adultery is not limited to the physical act itself, but extends to the lustful thoughts that lead to that act. In Matthew 5:27-28, Jesus reveals that even looking at someone with lustful intent is considered adultery in the heart. This emphasizes the deep, heart-level sinfulness that underlies outward actions. Therefore, true righteousness must exceed mere external adherence to the law; it requires internal purity.
Scripture References: Matthew 5:27-32, Exodus 20:14
