Seventh Commandment: You shall not commit adultery.
LORD’S DAY 41
108. What does the seventh commandment teach us?
That all unchastity is accursed of God,1Leviticus 18:27-28 and that we should therefore loathe it with our whole heart,2Jude 1:22-23 and live chastely and modestly,31 Thessalonians 4:3-5 whether in holy wedlock or in single life.4Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-4
109. Does God forbid nothing more in this commandment than adultery and such gross sins?
Since both our body and soul are temples of the Holy Spirit, it is His will that we keep both pure and holy. Therefore, He forbids all unchaste actions, gestures, words,5Ephesians 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 thoughts, desires,6Matthew 5:27-30 and whatever may entice thereto.7Ephesians 5:18-19; 1 Corinthians 15:33
