Commandment

"Thou shall not commit
adultery"
Adultery, as how is defined by many, is
the act of committing consensual sexual
relationship which is greatly unjustifiable in
the eyes of both in law and in God’s
judgement. Having the urge to perform
zealous actions outside the prior
relationship is an offensive sexual advance
which questions the pledge made during a
matrimonial ceremony and the effectiveness
of becoming as one as a whole. Sexual
enticements cannot mend the lack of faith,
trust, and self-control of a man as the
initiative to be carried with sexual lust and
relationship discontentment is a choice and
further claims the incompetent ability to
deliberate decisions in a life situation.
 The sixth Commandment is titled: Thou Shalt
Not Commit Adultery which informs us about our
behaviour and how we dressed. The word
ADULTERY is when a person gives another
person the love that belongs between a husband
and wife. This means that either of them should
not cheat on each other. In the sixth
commandment, it also talks about respecting each
other, it teaches us that women should be
respected, just because they are wearing clothes
that somehow revealing doesn't mean they are
trying to tempt other people.
 We are created in the image and likeness of God, and our
body is sacred. Our lives are gifts from God and as gifts we
are very precious in the eyes of God and so, we must be
preserved and protected. We are saved by the blood of Jesus
because of God’s love; he gave his only begotten son in order
for us to inherit the kingdom of heaven. We shall not commit
adultery, because it is a sin. And God gave us a task, not to
commit adultery. Why do people commit adultery anyway?
Well, we don't know the answers to that since we don't know
their part why they did commit adultery. We should not judge
them by committing that kind of sin doing something bad in
our eyes, because we do have a reason. Lord forgive us for
sometimes I have disrespected my neighbors. Help me to treat
all people with respect regardless of their strategies in life
and races. Finally, I want to pray today that Extra Judicial
killings will stop because there is too much senseless killing in
the world today. May your kingdom come as it stands for the
sacredness of human life, reaching to treat all people with
respect and love. Amen.

It is interpreted to refer to sexual relation
between a man and a married woman. Sexual
relations outside marriage are also prohibited that
you shall not have sexual intercourse with another
man’s wife. It is a mortal sin and at the same time,
you're disobeying the Law of God. One must respect
another man's wife and know your limits because it
is written and you have to follow what He has told
for us to honour Him and have a holy life.

According to church, humans are sexual beings whose sexual identity should be accepted in
the unity of body and soul. "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY" the sixth commandment
according to the cathecatism of the Catholic church which means forbidding married persons from
entering into sexual union with someone other than their spouse. Since I was a kid, I saw and
witnessed many couples fighting and the particular reason for the circumstance is the partner had
"kabet". Married and not married couple but living in the same roof with their kids always got into
fight because of this one partner involved into sexual contact with others that causes the separation
of the family. I know, and I'm aware that it is a sin and even my own thoughts says it is inaccurate
but this type of sin isn't only known by me however it is a sin that is strictly and highly forbidden
stated in the ten commandments in 6th place which is adultery—you shall not commit adultery.
There are genders originally called male and female which is made to complement each other, to be
partners, for man need it's women and vice versa but why are there couples whom has same gender
that are living in the same roof and interacts sexualities. In my place there are gays that has a
relationship with mans and lesbians that has a relationship with women, this thing is existing and it
is part of the 6th commandment. Man and woman were made to have a relationship intimacy and
are called to marriage. Spousal love is recommended to every humans—man and women and has a
chastity which their love should be done according to God's will. To sum up everything that has
been stated so far we must obey this commandment that is not to commit adultery and be open to
God's words and trust in God's will. Let's be contented to what we have and be humble, loyal and
faithful, these are things we must consider in entering the marriage world. Love the partners you
has and treat them like their the only partners exist in your life and no one could replace her/him in
your heart.

In the past years, people try to break bonds of other people's relationships, this is the
commandment for each of us which reminds what we should never try to commit another sin to our
beloved. I'm reflecting it on my experience being in the middle of the argument of my parents. My parents
have been together for 18 years. We are contented with our lifestyle and properties also, we run a
business such as piggery and selling fishes on flea market. It started when my aunt was paid to wash our
garments because were too busy on our business. My aunt persuaded my mom to go gamble or play
tong-its out of the house, she bite unto it and fall for the act unto what my aunt was blabbering. I didn't
know my father was into her (my aunt) that time and she likes him too; they are on it for almost a year.
Mom did know about it for a while and the time came when she had she shouted at him as she cried and
cried to know his secrets. I feel pity of my mom. She ran away and stayed at my grandma's. That time, I
was too late to know and I just cried. I wanted to go and visit her but my father wouldn't allow me.
Having a broken family was the worst thing that could ever happen to my life. I miss my mom, so much.
Four days had past and my grandma called to asked us that we have to go pick her up and fix
everything. Father, too, was guilty, he felt disappointed on himself as he regret his mistakes. On that
moment, my parents tried to fix things and everything got in control after. We didn't mind my aunt
because God knows what to do about it. This moral reflects on how adultery affects every lives including
their child, "God is love and in himself he lives a mystery of personal loving communion. Creating the
human race in his own image. God inscribed in the humanity of man and woman the vocation, and thus
the capacity and responsibility, of love and communion." This means men are responsible and it is his
obligation to commit to his woman, one is enough. One lie is enough to question all truths. I believe that
everyone needs to be honest and loyal to their beloved, even us women not only men. - "Cheating is like
throwing on a diamond and picking up a fool's gold"

The Sixth Commandment, like most of the others of the Second Tablet, is
presented as a negative precept: “You shall not commit adultery. Sixth
commandment. "You shall not commit adultery." According to the Church, humans
are sexual beings whose sexual identity should be accepted in the unity of body and
soul. The sexes are meant by divine design to be different and complementary, each
having equal dignity and made in the image of God. God forbids adultery since it
goes against Gods original design, From the beginning, God established a
blueprint for the family. He saw that it was not good for man to be alone, and He
created woman. Adam and Eve together reflected the image of God in their
relationship of trust and love. Adultery has become a very prominent problem in
today's society. It's spreading faster than many people could imagine and is almost
uncontainable. In this paper we will examine the various issues surrounding
adultery such as: history, the media, religion and how adultery can actually be
prevented from the beginning. Adultery is a sexual relationship in which a man or
women has with another partner rather than his/her own spouse. Adultery is seen
as a great sin in the society. Adultery maliciously interferes with marriage
relations, and sometimes opens the door to divorce. Movies and the media are just
one of the many ways in which adultery has been promoted positively. The media
has also drawn much unneeded attention to adultery as well. Lastly, God do not
allow adultery since it would destroy families, marriages and lives.

The Sixth Commandment commands spouses to be faithful
to one another for eternity. Emotional and sexual loyalty are
important to the marriage covenant's dedication. Marriage was
created as a symbol of God's faithfulness to us. The vows made
by couples at their weddings to be faithful to one another for the
rest of their lives should bear witness to the bond that God has
made with us. After all, young people are always searching for
the beauty in love. They want their love to be beautiful. If they
give in to weakness, following the models of behaviour that can
rightly be considered a 'scandal in the contemporary world' (and
these are, unfortunately, widely diffused models), in the depths
of their hearts they still desire a beautiful and pure love. This is
as true of boys as it is of girls. Ultimately, they know that only
God can give them this love. As a result, they are willing to
follow Christ, without caring about the sacrifices this may entail.

All people—married, single, religious, and ordained—need

to acquire the virtue of chastity. “Chastity means the successful
integration of sexuality within the person and thus the inner
unity of man in his bodily and spiritual being” (CCC, no.
2337). Chastity unites our sexuality with our entire human
nature. It approaches sexuality as related to our spiritual
natures so that sex is seen as more than a physical act. My
reaction paper about the 6th commandments which is "you
shall not commit adultery" I think it's not good in the eyes of
God, because it's a sin and it is wrong to commit such terrible
act. Instead, one must be faithful towards his or het partner and
put God as the core of your relationship.
 The six commandment is "you shall not commit adultery", one of the ten
commandments, is found in the book of exodus of the Hebrew Bible and old testament.
The six commandment, like most of the others of the second tablet, is presented as a
negative precept. "You shall not commit adultery". But our catechism turns to an
apostolic exhortation of John Paul II and invites us to look at God's word in a more
positive light placing our first parents in the Garden, and giving them the commission
to be fruitful and multiply, God laid the foundation for marriage, the family, and what
eventually would become the complex network of social relations we call human
society. If we consider almost any advertisement we see today, read horrific newspaper
accounts of sexual assaults, reflect that the United States is the world's largest exporter
of pornography, or even think about some of the random thoughts that cross on minds
from time to time, we may be tempted to ask why God would lay time immense
responsibility for the destiny of the cathecatism observes the harmony of society
depends in part on the way in which the complementarity, needs and human support
between the sexes are lived out our human sexuality. Then is an immense blessings one
that come with a correspondingly high price, which is our human is to remember that
man and woman are equally created in God's image. Thus the catechism observes,
quoting Pope Saint John Paul II, "God gives man and woman an equal personal
dignity.
o
The sixth commandment of our Lord, "You shall not Commit
adultery". In my own opinion, it is how we Give importance to
marriage because you and your partner took a vow in front of
God to love each other. Based on my experience, I see some
couple fighting and arguing because of various and unknown
reasons that leads them to a break up or separation which then
leads them to find another man/women to love to feed their long
time desire and curiosity. Others makes fun of it and takes
advantage of their partner and eventually get tired to
understand their status and situation. One of them would find
someone to talk, someone that they can lean on and share their
feelings which could possibly get even deeper. If problems arise,
couples must stay calm first in order to solve their problems in
peace. I have learned that one should not lie to his/her partner,
instead, they should unite together and work things out. Help
together and be strong as to every challenges in life. You took a
vow in front of God to love each other for eternity with God in
your hearts. After all, love can sacrifice just how God did it to
save us all.
 Jesus said in the 6th commandment: "You shall not
commit adultery" because adultery is a sin to God and to
your spouse because God has given you a wife and you are
still not satisfied? God’s reasons for instituting His
commandment against adultery are two-fold. First, God
established the institution of marriage as being between
one man and one woman God created marriage to be the
building block of His creation and of society. Even after the
fall marriage is still a sacred union and the foundation for
society. In marriage, the full expression of the image of God
is made manifest as the man and the woman complement
and complete each other. The Bible also teaches us that
marriage is the vehicle through which God designed the
procreation of the human race and the preservation of
godly offspring With such a premium placed on marriage,
it’s no wonder God would seek to protect this union from
defilement and thus prohibit adultery, which is the violation
of the sacred marriage union.

Adultery is when a person gives to another the love that
belongs between a husband and a wife. This is forbidden by the
6th Commandment. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit
and we should therefore respect them and cover them modestly.
We must also respect those of the opposite sex. We are told by
God in the commandment to avoid looking at others lustfully
with sex in mind. We are told that masterbation is wrong as
well. Dirty jokes are wrong. Wearing suggestive clothing such
as in the SWAG look, jeans that show bulges unnecessarily,
looking at pornographic pictures, and we should respect the
opposite sex and the same sex for that matter. Always
remember, God loves all of us and wants us to be happy. He
showed us the way in the Ten Commandments.

As with all of the Ten Commandments, there are things
we need to avoid doing (the negative part of the command)
and things we need to be doing (the positive part of the
command). The negative part of the command is self-
explanatory: Do not commit adultery. However, there is
more to this command than the simple avoidance of
extramarital relationships. One can make the argument that
wrapped up in this prohibition are all sorts of sexual sin
(e.g., incest, fornication, homosexuality, etc.), and that
argument can be made on the basis of chapters such as
Leviticus 18. Also important is avoiding things that would
lead or tempt one to consider adultery, such as the
unnecessary withholding of conjugal rights (1 Corinthians
7:1-5).
 By: Christine Castro
'Thou shall not commit adultery',
given the fact that vows are sacred we
are entitled to liven the responsibility
and not to do immoral things out of
marriage. Effects and consequences are
reflection of the things we do that that
we think it is right but is not. God bind
two persons to be the witness of His love
and creation, not the other things you
succumb to temptation.
By: Ramcees Cleofas
The sixth commandment deals with the right use of
mans highest bodily power, which because of concupiscence
or sexual desire or lust is easily misused. It is a sacred
power because it is directed toward the preservation of the
human race, and is the highest physical expression of love
between man and woman. Therefore, its use is confined only
to the limits of marriage is always regulated by God's law.
Marriage, then is a holy exalted vocation to which most men
and women are called. Married people practice chastity by
using as a sacred thing the right that are theirs by marriage
and by being faithful to one another. Adultery, which is the
breaking of one's promises on marriage, is one of the most
serious sins against this commandments. It is a great evil
which breaks up the harmony of the family and brings
punishments in this life and the next. It is a sin not only
against chastity but also against justice because it is
injustice toward the spouse of the married person.
 By: Jezreel Colas
Adultery is interpreted to refer to sexual
relations between woman and man. And
not to have a intercourse with another
man's wife, There shall be no intercourse
with woman. We should fear and love
God so we can't do bodily harm to our
beloved someone but to help that we can
be friends to everybody.
 Sixth Commandment is one of the issue that our country faces, that needs
to talked about, be open about it, and shared our thoughts to others. Through
the years, many people experience this kind of issue that results to separating,
divorce and annulment. This issue is rampant with spouses and wives that
have mistresses, in that they aren't not been able to be contented of what they
have. In Sixth commandment "Thou shall commit adultery", It recognizes the
significance of all individuals, married or single, religious or ordained. The
Sixth Commandment also asserts that if we have a partner, we should first
practice permanent and exclusive fidelity to one another because it is essential
to the marriage covenant's commitment. . It also tells us the importance of
marriage that we should never have mistresses. Sixth Commandment focuses
universally, it never focus on one but as a whole, it means that 6th
commandment can also be refer to our sexual desires and pleasures in life.
Not until we read everything about 6th commandment, we will never know
what we committed sins that we aren't aware of. Nevertheless, 6th
commandment is as important as a treasure, because in this commandment we
can be or receive loyalty and factual relationships.
 By: Rose Marie Delacruz
We are, perhaps, used to thinking of the Sixth
Commandment solely in negative terms, as a
prohibition against the misuse of God’s gift of our
human sexuality. After all, the commandment tells
us, “You shall not commit adultery.” It requires
spouses to practice fidelity to each other.
Emotional and sexual fidelity are important to the
commitment made in the marriage settlement. God
created marriage as a mirrored image of his
loyalty to us. The vows made by the spouses at
their wedding to be faithful each other forever
should witness the very covenant God has made
with us.

You are not permitted to commit adultery. Adultery, according to Google, is a casual sexual
relationship or encounter between a married person and a non-married person (who may or may
not be married to someone else). To put it another way, it may be between two people who are
married to each other. I don't have any experience in committing adultery. But I've also learned that
committing adultery can break or destroy family so we must prevent adultery in order to avoid
family or relationship conflict. So why adultery is a sin? Because it goes against God’s original
design The prohibition against adultery doesn’t make sense until we understand God’s original
design for sexual expression within the confines of marriage. From the beginning, God established
a blueprint for the family. He saw that it was not good for man to be alone, and He created woman.
Adam and Eve together reflected the image of God in their relationship of trust and love. In Genesis
2:24-25, we read: “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife,
and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.”
God’s design was for one man to be united with one woman as one flesh. Man would leave his
father and mother in order to form a new family. In the innocence and purity of the garden of Eden,
they would live together naked and not feel any shame. Because it destroys marriages and families
The glorious picture of marital bliss in the garden was shattered by human sin. When the first
couple sinned against God, they became separated from God. The marriage covenant is still
powerful, but because of sin, it is a fractured version of what God originally intended. Trust is
broken. Marriages are imperfect. Many fall apart. Throughout Old Testament history, we see how
marriage was damaged as a result of sin in the world. Men mistreated women by betraying them or
taking multiple wives. Adultery became commonplace. A well-known story of adultery in the Old
Testament is King David and Bathsheba in 2 Samuel 11. Here we see a strong king who followed
after God’s heart but fell to the sin of adultery. David, the giant-killer and mighty warrior, saw from
the rooftop of his palace a beautiful woman bathing. What the king wanted, the king got.
Disregarding the fact she was married to Uriah—a soldier on the front lines of his army fighting for
Israel—David slept with her.
 Sixth Commandment of God: “Thou shall not commit adultery.” As the sixth commandment
pertains to His people, it is right to be faithful, fair, and just to your partner. As a human being,
extreme temptations and seductions envelopes the life as around it tests the patience and faith of
one person to its other. Though we act vigorously to everything as we ought to do, these tests and
enticements are quit prevalent to human nature and undeniably prominent. Intended not to lie, we
somehow get lost and be blinded off by these little faults which make ourselves more inclined to
the situation and further create errors we simply make and regret after. Sexual allurements in life,
as what others see as the greatest and biggest temptations to ever happen, has become a dominant
inaccuracy in life that people seem to be disgusted off about it yet is entertained by it too. The
testing of waters greatly manifests how humans are not pleased and satisfied to what they own and
so they rather focus on what they wanted for more. As a reflection towards this commandment, I
have learned some overwhelming truths about the deeper discussion as it simply do not only
pertains to simple and shallow interpretation behind the word adultery but rather about its
affiliated meanings and akin concepts that is also in need to be consider. Comprehending these
faults, I simply pronounce that no man has ever been pure and has been gag about these ones.
There exist a dominant percentage of people who performs such acts and nobody is never not
guilty about this as I clearly believe it is refractory. As I do not tolerate sugar coating as we are all
sinners who address oneself to its utmost allures in life. We may challenge this back by self-
control. I do not side this act of forbearance nor trying to impulse the act of normalizing but
simply expresses that there is way to overcome life seductions. Prayers. One imperishable armor
we can own is prayers as the strongest sword with self-restraint as our shield. I seem to believe to
the effectiveness and therefore conclude its power to human over these malevolent inveigles and
provocation we experience while living.
The sixth commandment “you shall not commit adultery” talks about not committing
sexual acts before marriage. It forbids married persons from entering sexual unions
with someone other than their spouse. This commandment promotes chastity and
forbids all impurity and immodesty. Having sexual unions with others is not the only
act of adultery; “But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already
committed adultery with her in his heart.”(Matthew 5:28) as this verse says, we should
be mindful of what we think for we never know we’re already committing a sin. This
Commandment should be given attention to, especially when you’re a teenager.
Nowadays, there are a lot of young souls already tempted on committing adultery,
teenage pregnancy cases have been continuously rising. One of the main reasons for
this is the lack of good parenting and lack of discipline. That’s why teenagers should be
given proper knowledge concerning this matter as they deserve to know everything
about it. Having sexual orientations before marriage has always been a sin, and in my
own opinion people should always be mindful of how they act and think. As a teenager,
I could say that I am doing my best not to commit anything against the sixth
commandment. I am still young and I should not be doing things that’s against the
words of our Lord. I will continue on disciplining myself and be responsible of how I
act. I am one of the children of God, and I will abide his rules.

Sixth commandment. "You shall not commit
adultery." Humans are sexual beings whose
sexual identity should be accepted in the
unity of body and soul. It means you must
love your wife or husband as Christ loved
the church. This commandment guide us to
respect our own relationship as well as that
of other people. Do not find another person
who is not your wife or husband to be with.
God establish marriage as a reflection for
his fidelity to us, always be loyal and
faithful to your wife and husband.

POPE FRANCIS ON THE 6TH COMMANDMENT: THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT

ADULTERY.
The human being needs to be loved unconditionally, and those who do not
receive this acceptance carry within them a certain incompleteness, often without
knowing it. The human heart tries to fill this void with surrogates, accepting
compromises and mediocrity that have only a vague flavour of love. The risk is
calling unripe and immature relationships “love”, with the illusion of finding the
light of life in something that is at best only a reflection of it. In this way we
overestimate, for example, physical attraction, which is in itself a gift of God but is
intended to prepare the way for an authentic and faithful relationship with the
person. I don’t know why but this is just my beliefs and it’s absolutely true. We all
should love each other, not to be in a relationship but to be good to everyone cause
we all need to be love.

Self-mastery is a long and exacting work. One can never
consider it acquired once and for all. It presupposes renewed effort
at all stages of life. The effort required can be more intense in
certain periods, such as when the personality is being formed
during childhood and adolescence. (CCC, no. 2342; cf. Ti 2:1-6)
Chastity has laws of growth which progress through stages marked
by imperfection and too often by sin. (CCC, no. 2343) Chastity
presupposes respect for the rights of the person, in particular the
right to receive information and an education that respect the
moral and spiritual dimensions of human life. (CCC, no. 2344)
Chastity is a moral virtue. It is also a gift from God, a grace, a fruit
of spiritual effort. The Holy Spirit enables one whom the water of
Baptism has regenerated to imitate the purity of Christ. (CCC, no.
2345; cf. Gal 5:22, 1 Jn 3:3) The virtue of chastity blossoms in
friendship. Chastity is expressed notably in friendship with one’s
neighbour. Whether it develops between persons of the same or
opposite sex, friendship represents a great good for all. It leads to
spiritual communion. (CCC, no. 2347). The sexes are meant to be
separate and complementary by divine design, with each having
equal respect and being created in the image of God.
 By: Janna Clarisse Genova
The Sixth Commandment “you shall not commit adultery” pertains not only to sexual infidelity but encompasses the whole of
human sexuality (2336), and is thus perhaps the most controversial commandment among the Decalogue for a contemporary audience.
In addressing the commandment, the Catechism begins on an anthropological note: the human person, created in the image of the
Trinitarian God who is love, is made to love (2231). Sexuality is an integral part of what it means to be made in the imago Dei. The
human person is made from the beginning for love, for self-gift. This is what John Paul II called the “nuptial meaning of the body.” This
capacity for self-gift is described in the Catechism and also reflected in John Paul II’s Theology of the Body as integrally connected to
the importance of gender. It is in the union of man and woman that Trinitarian love is imaged: “Each of the two sexes is an image of the
power and tenderness of God, with equal dignity though in a different way. The union of man and woman in marriage is a way of
imitating in the flesh the Creator’s generosity and fecundity: ‘Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife,
and they become one flesh.'” (2335). Gender here is no accident. Rather, the distinction (and equality) of the sexes is part of the divine
plan. In this way, the Catechism reflects a view known as “gender essentialism” which is closely connected with the idea of the
complementarity of the sexes: Everyone, man and woman, should acknowledge and accept his sexual identity. Physical, moral, and
spiritual difference and complementarity are oriented toward the goods of marriage and the flourishing of family life. The harmony of
the couple and of society depends in part on the way in which the complementarity, needs, and mutual support between the sexes are
lived out (2333). Sexuality is ordered toward the union of the man and woman in monogamous fidelity through the sacrament of
marriage. In such a union, sex is not something dirty or shameful but is rather a source of good and holy joy. The purpose of sex within
marriage is twofold: unity whereby the two are made one flesh, and procreation whereby the two imitate the life-giving love of the
Creator (2363). These two ends of sex are integrally connected and cannot be severed. In addition, the marriage bond is marked by its
indissolubility which God intends from the beginning: “what God has put together, let no man tear asunder.” As such, adultery and
divorce are contrary to the natural law (2384). Civil divorce may be tolerated under certain circumstances dictated by canon law
(2383), but remarriage is always illicit even when allowed on civil grounds. In like manner, polygamy, incest, and sexually active
cohabitation outside of the bonds of marriage are also offenses against the dignity of marriage and the capacity of the human person for
authentic self-gift. Because the capacity to love is so deeply rooted in our affectivity, discipline is necessary. All are called to the virtue
of chastity which is lived out specifically according to one’s state in life (2348). Chastity is not, as it is commonly assumed, the same as
abstinence. Married, single, and celibate alike are called to chastity which involves training one’s emotions to love with right reason.
Chastity is a part of the cardinal virtue of temperance which is the virtue governing our “concupiscible appetite,” that is, our appetite
for created goods (food, drink, sex). As an acquired virtue, chastity takes a long time and much effort to develop (2342), and at times of
intense sexual development (i.e. adolescence) or times of sexual temptation, it will need to be cultivated and protected by the virtue of
fortitude. Vices against chastity include anything that allows one’s reason to be conquered by one’s sexual feelings or fails to fully reflect
the capacity for authentic self-gift as fitting the imago Deit. The disordinate desire for sexual pleasure (lust) is the root of a host of other
vices: masturbation, fornication, pornography, rape. In each of these vices, sex is used for something other than self-giving love and the
body is objectified—treated as a thing for use and not an integral part of a person.

You shall not commit adultery- it is one of the commandment

of God. which means committing a adultery is against to the law
of God and also in our law because Adultery is a consensual
sexual relationship or encounter between someone who's married
and a person they're not married to (who may or may not be
married to someone else). In other words, it can be between two
people who are both married to other people, or between a
married person and a non-married person. Adultery is
extramarital sex that is considered objectionable on social,
religious, moral, or legal grounds. Although the sexual activities
that constitute adultery vary, as well as the social, religious, and
legal consequences, the concept exists in many cultures and is
similar in Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
 Life has a way of surprising us in a number of ways, placing us in different situations. It has provided us
with opportunities as well as obstacles to acquire insights that we have later on transformed into our own
learnings. The sixth commandment says "You shall not commit adultery". Adultery applies between the
married. Cheating, two-timing, or being unfaithful to your partner is a horrible act as you are also
disrespecting your marriage. In my experience, living with a religious family, I have few relatives who are
committing this sinful act. At first, I have this mindset of judging their actions immediately although I am
aware that it is wrong. For instance, talking behind their backs. How could there be people who aren't
contented and faithful to their husbands and wives? Are they really that cruel to hurt their partners and leave
them dumbfounded for the rest of their lives? How come there are still people who don't care if their partners
are harmed? Since I was a kid, I've had these unanswered questions in my mind, and as I've grown older, I
tend to learn and realize things little by little. These commandments are rules made by God for us to obey but
there are some who are dazed and tempted to practice such acts. Despite the fact that it is sinful, the only way
who can enlighten such sinners is with God. We could light our own way and avoid this terrible act if we only
try to free our minds and listen to God's teachings. I have no personal experience of adultery since I am taught
well by my parents. I have only watched several movies and read a few books concerning adultery. It has
shaped our minds that with just a fault, one who commits this don't just devour several consequences but
lifetime damage to one's life. The fact of cheating amuses some people whereas others stands for dignity and
fights for their rights. People contain this hunger we call insatiable. We will never have a full satisfaction as
we tend to want more. Although this is not right and I am not in favor of enabling this, there is still a way to
avoid such act. One must practice self-discipline for it is also an act of self-respect. Bear in mind that of all
sins, failures, and mistakes, God may have forgiven us, but until when are you going to stop? Eventually, we
will get tired and we will start to grow older but, can you take the guilt and conscience? Life is so real that it
pains us all the time. But what is left is hope that someday, people who commit such sins would understand
and repent for their mistakes. Never in my life would I desire to partake in this heinous act. It only serves to
harm both people and God, as disobeying His commandments even intends to hurt Him. Praying, following
His rules, and keeping my faith is what gives me hope, and drives me to continue my long way path to what I
want to achieve. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

The Sixth Commandment summons spouses to practice permanent and exclusive
fidelity to one another. Emotional and sexual fidelity are essential to the commitment
made in the marriage covenant. God established marriage as a reflection of his fidelity
to us. The vows made by the spouses at their wedding to be faithful to one another
forever should witness the very covenant God has made with us. All people—married,
single, religious, and ordained—need to acquire the virtue of chastity. “Chastity means
the successful integration of sexuality within the person and thus the inner unity of man
in his bodily and spiritual being” (CCC, no. 2337). Chastity unites our sexuality with
our entire human nature. It approaches sexuality as related to our spiritual natures so
that sex is seen as more than a physical act. Sexuality affects the whole person because
of the unity of body and soul. Jesus is the model of chastity. “Chastity includes an
apprenticeship in self-mastery which is a training in human freedom” (CCC, no. 2339).
The acquisition of chastity depends on self-discipline and leads to an internal freedom,
which enables human beings to temper sexual desires according to God’s plan for the
appropriate expression of love in the marital relationship of a man and a woman.

The followers of Christ can be caught
between valuing the commitment of life’s
promises in marriage, and compassion
for people whose marriages maybe
should never have taken place, or have
broken up. Jesus values the commitment
too; adultery is condemned as a sin
against justice – of tampering in some
way with the commitment made of one
person to another.

The Most common setting for adultery occurs in
the work place itself but because it is from the
conditions of work and relationships with married
couple, they should not have sex with other people
because of their work obviously this rules out sex

degree workers have a choice but any kind of the
work that the degree worker and bonds of marriage
infringes there are many ways can occur supporting
there commitments to there spouse as encourage
reasonable limits to of hour encounters subject
people to sexual harassment and pressure to have
sex with those holding power over them.

According to the church, humans are
sexual beings whose sexual identity should
be accepted in the unity of body and soul.
We should fear and love God, so that we
lead a chaste and decent life in word and
deed, and that husband and wife love and
honor each other. We should not have a
sexual relation on other’s husband or wife.
Because sexual relations outside marriage
are prohibited based on Deuteronomy
23:18. Not to have intercourse with another
man’s wife.

In terms, the 6th commandment is against to both
idolatry and sinfulness., gestures, words and behaviour,
whether alone or in group. Touching one's own or another's
body without necessity only to relieve desire, impure
conversations, dirty jokes, staring at inappropriate photos,
and improper familiarity with the opposite sex are all
examples of this. commandment to refrain from lustfully
looking at others. Today, God's rules in this area may
appear to be rather strict. But remember the consequences.
Prostitutes get pregnant on a regular basis. Torturing a baby
is not the solution. Different sex partners leads to
undesirable infants "accidents" for those who only see the
fun and not the guilt.
 Thou shall not commit adultery is the sixth
commandment of God. He calls for spouses to
practice permanent and exclusive fidelity to one
another. This is because emotional and sexual
fidelity are essential commitment that was
committed in their marriage vows. As I am
growing up, I have watch for countless times
movies about a married man or woman having an
affair with the other person who is outside their
marriages. I already have the idea that what they
are doing is wrong. And I knew from then on that it
is outlawing God if I did something like adultery. I
think God made this commandment because He
wants us to prohibit sexual relations outside
marriages.

Adultery is when an individual shows the other person the
love, lust, adore or affection that is valid between a husband
and a wife which is forbidden by the 6th Commandment. It
summons companions to practice permanent and exclusive
devotion to one another. This commandment educates us to be
a responsible human and to know our ethics in life. Emotional
and sexual fidelity are fundamental to the commitment made
within the marriage covenant. God set up marriage as a
reflection of his devotion to us. The vows made by the spouses
at their wedding to be loyal to one another until the end of
time ought to witness the exceptionally pledge God has made
with us. This commandment restricts all debasement and
immodesty in words, looks, and activities, whether alone or
with others. Illustration of this commandment are touching
one's claim body or that of another without need essentially to
fulfil wicked interest, debased discussions, unpleasant jokes,
looking at terrible pictures, and undue behaviour with the
opposite sex and having an intercourse with a much younger
or older person.

According to the Church, people are sexual creatures whose sexual character ought to be
acknowledged in the solidarity of body and soul. The genders are implied by divine plan to appear
as something else and reciprocal, each having equivalent pride and made in the picture of God.
Not to engage in sexual relations with another man's significant other. There will be no
intercourse with a lady, without past marriage with a deed of marriage and formal assertion of
marriage. The Sixth Commandment gathers companions to rehearse lasting and elite devotion to
each other. Passionate and sexual loyalty are crucial for the responsibility made in the marriage
contract. God set up marriage as an impression of his constancy to us. The pledges made by the
life partners at their wedding to be devoted to each other always should observer the very contract
God has made with us. All individuals—wedded, single, strict, and appointed—need to get the
temperance of purity. "Celibacy implies the fruitful mix of sexuality inside the individual and
consequently the internal solidarity of man in his substantial and otherworldly being" Chastity
joins our sexuality with our whole human instinct. It approaches sexuality as identified with our
profound qualities so that sex is viewed as in excess of an actual demonstration. Sexuality
influences the entire individual in light of the solidarity of body and soul. Jesus is the model of
modesty. "Celibacy remembers an apprenticeship for self-dominance which is a preparation in
human opportunity" ( The obtaining of modesty relies upon self-control and prompts an interior
opportunity, which empowers people to temper sexual longings as indicated by God's
arrangement for the fitting articulation of adoration in the conjugal relationship of a man and a
lady.

THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT
"THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY"
The sixth commandment brings life partners to rehearse
perpetual and selective devotion to each other. Enthusiastic
and sexual loyalty are fundamental for the responsibility made
in the marriage pledge. God set up marriage as an impression
of his loyalty to us. The pledges made by the companions at
their wedding to be dedicated to each other perpetually should
observe the very agreement god has made with us. This
commandment is a open eye for all of us, because recently in a
relationship or marriage they always ended up to adultery
which is the most common thing that always happened. When
we're in a relationship we should just love and be faithful to
our spouse just like what god do for us. Lastly, a humble
reminder that being faithful to your spouse seems to be just
like your faith in god because you are connecting through
love.

Many relationship has ruined by Adultery. Promising to
each other in front of God that no matter what challenges
will come they both accomplished it together. But Satan,
always attempts the weakest. He always seek ways to ruin
the happy holy marriage God has given, but if you don’t
have strong faith in your relationship and faith to God, you
will be the target sinner. Being in a relationship with others
while you are married is one of the biggest mistake in your
life. You are ruining the finest marriage life you have that
God created for you, and trade it to temporary happiness
you will have. Besides, you’re not just ruining your
relationship but also yourself, worst if you have kids, the
relationship of your kids between each other will change.
Their life will change, that will leave you a life-long regrets
and resentments to your action. STOP COMMITING
ADULTERY! DON’T TRADE YOUR FOREVER
TREASURE TO A TEMPORARY HAPPINESS AND LIFE-
LONG REGRETS.

Sixth commandment. "You shall not commit adultery."
According to the Church, humans are sexual beings whose
sexual identity should be accepted in the unity of body and
soul. The sexes are meant by divine design to be different and
complementary, each having equal dignity and made in the
image of God. God established marriage as a reflection of his
fidelity to us. The vows made by the spouses at their wedding
to be faithful to one another forever should witness the very
covenant God has made with us. If you cheat on your
girlfriend, boyfriend, husband or wife, you will hurt them
badly emotionally and mentally. You will break not only their
heart but also their mind and soul. You will destroy their trust,
respect, hope, and dreams. You will cause them great sorrow
and depression that might destroy their life. Being loyal
means reassuring your partner that you will be there
emotionally and physically, whenever you are needed and
following through with this promise. Your presence, helpful
action and kind words are important signs of trust and
security for your mate in the relationship.

We miss the point of the Sixth Commandment, of
course, if we imagine it applies only to those who are
married. The chastity that must characterize, govern
and guard a marriage is the same virtue calling each
of us to a wholesome life. It provides the
encouragement and protection we need as we
progress along the way of perfection. Our Catechism
teaches, Chastity means the successful integration of
sexuality within the person and thus the inner unity
of man in his bodily and spiritual being. Sexuality, in
which man’s belonging to the bodily and biological
world is expressed, becomes personal and truly
human when it is integrated into the relationship of
one person to another.

You shall not commit adultery. (NIV, Exodus 20:14) Adultery is one of the most frequently and severely condemned sins in the Bible.
Adultery is mentioned 52 times, including in the Ten Commandments, all four Gospels, and ten other books of the Bible. Only the sins of
idolatry, self-righteousness and murder are mentioned more often. The Bible mentions adultery as grounds for divorce (Matthew 5:31-32,
19:9) but does not require it. In many cases the husband and wife can be reconciled and the marriage saved even after adultery. It is not a
sin to continue to live with and have sex with a spouse who has committed adultery. Adultery often causes lasting damage that no amount of
repentance can undo. It is extremely hurtful to the spouse. It often leads to divorce and leaves the marriage partners embittered,
disillusioned and financially poorer. It robs the children of the love and security of a healthy family and denies them a good role model for
their own future marriages. Children from families where there is conflict and/or divorce are more prone to anxiety, poor school
performance, drug abuse and delinquent behavior. These problems can persist into adulthood. Adult children of divorced parents tend to
have lower educational attainment, lower income, more children out of wedlock, higher rates of divorce themselves, and a lower sense of
well-being. “He who commits adultery is devoid of sense; only one who would destroy himself does such a thing. He will meet with disease
and disgrace; his reproach will never be expunged. The fury of the husband will be passionate; he will show no pity on his day of
vengeance. He will not have regard for any ransom; he will refuse your bribe, however great.” – Proverbs 6:32-35 (JPS) I am lucky enough
to have my parents who follows the 6th commandment of the Lord. I know that it is hard to maintain your relationship with your partner, but
they managed to reconnect every time they argue over a certain problem. My mother is in Hong Kong for over 19 years, working and
making a living for us while my father takes care of me until I am fully grown up. Never have I ever seen my father look into someone the
way that he looks to my mother. Both of them are loyal and devoted to what they are doing which is to work hard, earn and save money for
the future plans. And as a young believer of God, I am looking forward to what my marriage looks like, if I will be married to a trustworthy
and faithful man. I also realized that I should never be doing this sin ever in my life, though temptations cannot be predicted yet it can be
stopped. As with other sins, God will forgive the sin of adultery if a person sincerely repents and also forgives other people. Most believe
that if a married person commits adultery, they too can be forgiven by God and the marriage can be restored. However, just as with
premarital sex, there are lots of long-term and destructive consequences for engaging in adultery. Even though God forgives adultery, this
does not mean He erases the consequences that might come from adultery. The danger of the sin of adultery is not that God cannot forgive
it, but that adultery destroys marriages and destroys lives. Adultery is forgivable. The pain of adultery can make us bitter, or it can make us
better, it’s our choice. God can restore if genuine repentance and forgiveness takes place. True repentance is unconditional and takes full
responsibility for wrongs done. A truly repent person is desperate to be forgiven, they focus on what they have done rather than placing
blame or responsibility on others.
 Adultery is the complete corruption of God’s
good creation of marriage. Through the sin of
adultery, Satan tempts us to seek sexual fulfillment
in avenues other than the one God has ordained—
within the bounds of monogamous, heterosexual
marriage. Adultery rips at the fabric of society
because it tears apart marriages and families
which are the building blocks of society. God’s law
in general, and the 7th commandment in particular,
is held up as the standard for Christian behavior.
For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don't you
realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives
in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to
yourself."

1 Corinthians 6:18–19
