The Seventh CommandmentMonday 16th November 2020

The seventh commandment forbids adultery - this includes any thought, word, or action which encourages sexual activity outside of the marriage between one man and one woman.
Exodus 20 v14Proverbs 7 v4-9

Exodus 20:14

14 “You shall not commit adultery.

(ESV)

Proverbs 7:4–9

4   Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
    and call insight your intimate friend,
5   to keep you from the forbidden1 woman,
    from the adulteress2 with her smooth words.
6   For at the window of my house
    I have looked out through my lattice,
7   and I have seen among the simple,
    I have perceived among the youths,
    a young man lacking sense,
8   passing along the street near her corner,
    taking the road to her house
9   in the twilight, in the evening,
    at the time of night and darkness.
