Quotes About Adultery

These beliefs were mainly Protestant but not yet petty middle-class puritanism: there remained still an element fairly high stepping and wide gestured in its personal conduct. The petty middle class of fundamentalists who saw no difference between wine-drinking, dancing, card-playing, and adultery, had not yet got altogether the upper hand in that part of the country - in fact, never did except in certain limited areas; but it was making a brave try.
~ Katherine Anne Porter
It could not be more perfect. Ba'al, the very god of the Anakim, Israel's ultimate enemy, was already undermining Yahweh's inheritance through spiritual adultery, and they had not even yet faced off in confrontation.

Dad could talk about peace and love out loud to the world, but he could never show it to the people who supposedly meant the most to him: his wife and son.

Hester, in the dark conclusion of Hawthorne's brooding novel, reassumes the Puritan mantle….Hawthorne thus captures the catch-22 of feminism: the very woman who is able to envision a new order of living is, by the same token, unable, since the passion that enables her also adulterates her in the eyes of the Puritans. Released from goodness, she is imprisoned in badness, within the framework of the puritanical order. But her mind is free to question the order.
~ Carol Gilligan
Life is the purest, clearest, darkest, most crystalline form of hopelessness Ã¢â'¬Â¦ There is only one way to go, through the snow and ice into despair; past the adultery of reason.

ROMANS 13:9,10 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other COMMANDMENT, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW.

This idea of "becoming a Jew" indicates ceremonial distinctives are in view rather than moral ones. No one "becomes a Jew" by not killing, not committing adultery, or not coveting (keeping the moral aspects of the Law). They do "become a Jew" by undergoing the ceremonial distinctives which marked the Jews off from the Gentiles (circumcision, food laws, cleansing rituals, and so forth).

~ Georg Buchner
Sin is more than turning our backs on God - it is turning our backs on life! Immorality is much more than adultery and dishonesty: it is living drab, colorless, dreary, stale, unimaginative lives.
~ Mike Yaconelli
the age in which the Romish Church had made marriage a legalized tyranny, and the laity, by a natural and pardonable revulsion, had exalted adultery into a virtue and a science? That all love was lust; that all women had their price; that profligacy, though an ecclesiastical sin, was so pardonable, if not necessary, as to be hardly a moral sin
~ Charles Kingsley

Until politicos take a true stand in defense of marriage by proposing an anti-adultery amendment to the Constitution, stop demonizing gays and lesbians when the one debasing your marriage is the individual in the mirror.

It takes a certain intelligence to love like that – softly, without props. But the world is such a showpiece, maybe that's why folks try to outdo it, put everything they feel onstage just to prove they can think up things too: handsome scary things like fights to the death, adultery, setting sheets afire. They fail of course. The world outdoes them every time.
~ Toni Morrison
