Matthew 5:27 - 5:30

Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the commandment, "You shall not commit adultery," from Matthew chapter 5 of the Sermon on the Mount. Gregg argues that looking at a woman with lustful intent is already committing adultery in the heart, and that this violation of someone's rights is an injustice. He explains that just as there are property and possession rights, there are also exclusive possession rights to a spouse's body. Gregg warns that adultery can destroy marriages, families, and reputations.
