Often adultery is thought of as only physical sexual behavior.
Adultery actually begins in the mind when we think intimate things concerning someone who is not our spouse.
Either act, physical or mental/emotional, is breaking our promise to our spouse.
Matthew 5:21-30
“You have heard that the ancients were told, ...
...“You have heard that it was said,
‘You shall not commit adultery’;
but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell.
