What does the Bible say about lust and adultery?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that lusting in the heart is equivalent to committing adultery (Matthew 5:27-28).

According to Matthew 5:27-28, Jesus reinterprets the commandment against adultery by stating that even looking at a woman with lust constitutes adultery in the heart. This teaching emphasizes that God’s law addresses not only outward actions but also the intentions and desires of our hearts. Therefore, true obedience begins from within, as the law exposes our guilt in ways that merely outward compliance cannot. Jesus’ words reveal that all of humanity is guilty of breaking the heart of the law, reinforcing the need for redemption through Him.
