The Seventh Commandment is "You shall not commit adultery". This commandment prohibits more than just physical sexual contact between two people who are not married. It also forbids all unchaste thoughts, words, and actions. Besides adultery, the seventh commandment outlaws incest, sexual abuse, homosexuality, bestiality, pornography, and simply lust in general. The commandment is designed to protect the sanctity of marriage and show the importance of faithfulness. The spirit of the Seventh Commandment covers all forms of sex outside of marriage. It is through marriage and the family that we can have a stable society.
