"Thou shalt not commit adultery." Exodus 20:14

.....The seventh commandment concerns our own and our neighbour�s chastity: Thou shalt not commit adultery, v. 14. This is put before the sixth by our Saviour (Mk. 10:19): Do not commit adultery, do not kill; for our chastity should be as dear to us as our lives, and we should be as much afraid of that which defiles the body as of that which destroys it.

.....This commandment forbids all acts of uncleanness, with all those fleshly lusts which produce those acts and war against the soul, and all those practices which cherish and excite those fleshly lusts, as looking, in order to lust, which, Christ tells us, is forbidden in this commandment, Mt. 5:28.
