You shall not commit adultery. (Exodus 20:14 AMP)
Two interesting commentaries that expand our understanding
of this command:
Observe here the expansion of the meaning of the seventh
commandment in many catechisms to include whoredom in all its forms, as well as
unchastity [premarital relations, sexual impurity, and lustful desire under
whatever name] (J.P. Lange, A Commentary). Not only is adultery
forbidden here, but also fornication and all kinds of mental and sensual
uncleanness. All impure books, songs, pictures, etc., which tend to inflame and
debauch the mind are against this law (Adam Clarke, The Holy Bible with A
Commentary).
