Bible verses about "committing adultery" | Worsley

¹¹ and He told them, Whoever putteth away his wife and marrieth another, committeth adultery against her. ¹² And if a woman be divorced from her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

³ And the pharisees came to Him to ensnare Him, and asked Him, whether it was lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? ⁴ And He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He, who made them at first, made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, ⁵ and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh: ⁶ so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. And therefore what God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. ⁷ They say unto Him, Why then did Moses order a bill of divorce to be given, and so to put her away? ⁸ He answered them, Moses because of your hardheartedness, permitted you to put away your wives; but it was not so from the beginning: ⁹ and I tell you, that whosoever putteth away his wife, except for whoredom, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and he that marrieth her so put away committeth adultery.

¹ But Jesus went to the mount of Olives; ² and returned early in the morning into the temple, and all the people came to Him: and He sat down, and taught them. ³ And the scribes and pharisees brought to Him a woman taken in adultery; ⁴ and setting her in the midst, they said to Him, "This woman was caught in the very act, committing adultery. ⁵ Now Moses in the law has commanded us that such women should be stoned, but what sayest Thou?" ⁶ This they said to tempt Him, that they might have something to accuse Him of. But Jesus stooping down, wrote with his finger upon the ground. ⁷ And as they continued asking Him, He raised himself up and said unto them, "Let him that is without sin among you, first cast a stone at her." ⁸ Then He stooped down again and wrote on the ground. ⁹ But when they heard his answer, being convicted by their own conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at the elder, even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst of the people. ¹⁰ Then Jesus rising up, and seeing none but the woman, said unto her, Where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? ¹¹ And she said, None, Lord. Then said Jesus unto her, Neither do I condemn thee, Go thy way and sin no more.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him might not perish, but have everlasting life:

¹ Are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law) that the law hath power over a man, only so long as it liveth? ² For a married woman is bound by the law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband die, she is discharged from the law of her husband. ³ Therefore while her husband is living, she shall be called an adulteress if she become another man's: but if her husband be dead, she is free from the law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she become another man's. ⁴ And thus, my brethren, ye also are dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye might become another's, even his who is raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God. ⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions while we were under the law operated in our bodies so as to bring forth fruit unto death. ⁶ But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead by which we were bound, that we might serve God in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. ⁷ What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid! Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust to be sinful, if the law had not said, "Thou shalt not covet." ⁸ But sin taking occasion by the commandment wrought in me all manner of concupiscence: for without the law sin was dead. ⁹ And I was heretofore alive without the law: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died: ¹⁰ and the commandment which was intended to life, I found to be unto death. ¹¹ For sin taking occasion by the commandment deceived me, and by it slew me. ¹² So that the law is holy; and the commandment holy, and just, and good. ¹³ Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid! But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good: that sin might be shewn by the commandment to be exceeding sinful. ¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. ¹⁵ For that which I do, I allow not: for I do not that which I would; but what I hate, this I do. ¹⁶ And if I do that which I would not, I consent to the law that it is good: ¹⁷ but now I am no more the doer of it, but sin that dwelleth in me. ¹⁸ For I know that in me (that is in my flesh) dwelleth no good: for to will is present with me, but how to perform that which is good, I find not. ¹⁹ For I do not the good that I would; but the evil which I would not, this I do. ²⁰ Now if I do that which I would not, I am no more the doer of it, but sin that dwelleth in me. ²¹ I find then a kind of law, that when I would do good, evil besets me. ²² For I delight in the law of God, as to the inward man: ²³ but I perceive another law in my body warring against the law of my mind, and captivating me to the law of sin, which is in my body. ²⁴ Wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from this body of death? ²⁵ The grace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with my mind I serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

¹⁵ But if the unbeliever depart, let them depart; a brother or a sister is not bound in such cases.

¹ It is commonly reported that there is lewdness among you, and such lewdness as is not named even amongst the heathens, that one should have his father's wife. ² And are ye puffed up, and have not rather grieved? that he who hath committed this fact might be expelled from among you? ³ For I indeed, absent in body, but present in spirit, have already, as if I were present, judged him who hath wrought this wickedness: in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁴ when ye are assembled together with my spirit, by the power, I say, ⁵ of our Lord Jesus Christ, to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your boasting is not good. ⁶ Do ye not know that a little leaven leaveneth the whole mass? ⁷ Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new mass, without leaven. For our paschal lamb, even Christ, was slain for us. ⁸ Wherefore let us keep the feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavening of sincerity and truth. ⁹ I wrote to you in an epistle, not to associate with whoremongers: ¹⁰ but I did not mean not at all with the whoremongers of this world, or the covetous, or rapacious, or idolaters: since ye must then go out of the world. ¹¹ But now I have written to you, not to associate with him, if any one, that is called a brother, be a whoremonger, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious; with such a one no not to eat. ¹² For what have I to do to judge those that are without? and do not ye judge those that are within? ¹³ But those who are without, God judgeth: and therefore put away the wicked one from among you.

⁹ and I tell you, that whosoever putteth away his wife, except for whoredom, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and he that marrieth her so put away committeth adultery.

²⁶ For if we sin wilfully after having received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins;

⁴ Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is not defiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are manifest, such as, adultery, fornication, uncleanness,

⁸ But the fearful, and faithless, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.

¹⁸ Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
