Seventh Commandment

Lord’s Day 41

Scripture Memory: Exodus 20:14

Q 108. What does the seventh Commandment teach us?

A. That all unchastity is accursed of God,[1] and that we should therefore loathe it with our whole heart,[2] and live chastely and modestly,[3] whether in holy wedlock or single life.[4]

[1] Lev 18:27-30; Eph 5:3-5; [2] Jude 22-23; [3] 1 Thes 4:3-8; [4] 1 Cor 7:1-9; Heb 13:4

Q 109. Does God forbid nothing more in this Commandment than adultery and such gross sins?

A. Since both our body and soul are temples of the Holy Spirit, it is His will that we keep both pure and holy; therefore, He forbids all unchaste actions, gestures, words,[1] thoughts, desires,[2] and whatever may entice thereto.[3]

[1] 1 Cor 6:18-20; Eph 5:3-4; [2] Mt 5:27-30; [3] 1 Cor 15:33; Eph 5:18-19
