Gospel of Matthew Chapter 5 Vs. 27

 Lust


Matthew 5:27 “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:”



Thou shalt not... This prohibits unlawful sexual relationship and upholds the sacredness of marriage for the propagation of the human race. Exo. 20:14; Deut. 5:18.

This is one of the 10 commandments. In Old Testament times, the participants in this type of sin were stoned to death. This sin involves the body (the temple of the Holy Ghost), and is therefore a very serious sin.



A second practical illustration dealt with the problem of adultery (Exo. 20:14). Once again the Pharisees’ teaching was concerned only with the outward act. They said the only way one could commit adultery was through an act of sexual union.
