馬太 Matthew 5:21-22 21你們聽過有這樣吩咐古人的話：「不可殺人，殺人的必被判罪」 22可是我告訴你們，凡是向弟兄發怒的，必被判罪。人若說弟兄是「拉加」，必被公議會審判；人若說弟兄是「摩利」，必難逃地獄的火。 (新譯本) 21 You have heard that the ancients were told, “You shall not commit murder” and “Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.” 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing (Rhaka)’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool (Moros)’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell. (NASB)

(NASB) What is “Adultery 犯姦淫”?

Adultery: sex outside of marriage Exodus 22:16 人若引誘沒有受聘的處女，與她行淫，他總要交出聘禮，娶她為妻。If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged, and lies with her, he must pay a dowry for her to be his wife.   Leviticus 18:20 不可與鄰舍的妻行淫，玷污自己。  You shall not have intercourse with your neighbor’s wife, to be defiled with her. Exodus 22:19 凡與獸淫合的，總要把他治死。Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death.

箴言Proverbs 5:15-2215你要喝自己池中的水，饮自己井里的活水。16你的泉源怎么可以外溢？你的河水怎么可以流在街上？17它们要独归你一人所有，不要让外人与你共享。18要使你的泉源蒙福，要喜悦你年轻时所娶的妻子。19她像可爱的母鹿，人所喜悦的母山羊，愿她的乳房时常使你满足，愿她的爱情常常使你恋慕。20我儿，为甚么恋慕淫妇？为甚么拥抱妓女的胸怀呢？…22恶人必被自己的罪孽捉住，他必被自己罪恶的绳索缠住。15 Drink water from your own cistern and fresh water from your own well. 16 Should your springs be dispersed abroad, Streams of water in the streets? 17 Let them be yours alone and not for strangers with you. 18 Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19 As a loving hind and a graceful doe, let her breasts satisfy you at all times; be exhilarated always with her love. 20 For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress and embrace the bosom of a foreigner?... 22 His own iniquities will capture the wicked, and he will be held with the cords of his sin.

創世記 Genesis 2:24 因此人要离开父母，和妻子连合，二人成为一体。 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

(NASB) Adultery: sex outside of marriage Adultery: Imagine / Fantasize sex outside of marriage

What’s wrong w/ sexual fantasy? It occupies our mind It affects how we see opposite sex It affects our friendship with the opposite sex It affects our relationship with our spouse / future spouse It can become an addiction Imagination is a gift from God

馬太 Matthew 5:27-30 29如果你的右眼使你犯罪，就把它挖出来丢掉；宁可失去身体的一部分，胜过全身被丢进地狱里。30如果你的右手使你犯罪，就把它砍下来丢掉；宁可失去身体的一部分，胜过全身进到地狱里去。(新譯本) 29 If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell. (NASB)

馬太 Matthew 18:7-9 7这世界有祸了，因为充满使人犯罪的事。这些事是免不了的，但那使人犯罪的有祸了！8如果你的一只手或一只脚使你犯罪，就把它砍下来丢掉；你一只手或一只脚进永生，总比有两只手或两只脚被投进永火里好。9如果你的一只眼睛使你犯罪，就把它挖出来丢掉；你一只眼睛进永生，总比有两只眼睛被投进地狱的火里好。7 Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes! 8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than to have two hands or two feet and be cast into the eternal fire. 9 If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter life with one eye, than to have two eyes and be cast into the fiery hell.
