In the book of Leviticus, the law explicitly condemns adultery, and Exodus reinforces this with the seventh commandment. The New Testament, particularly in Hebrews and Matthew, upholds the importance of marital fidelity, while Proverbs warns of the destructive consequences of adultery, noting that it leads to self-destruction. Scripture emphasizes the need for faithfulness and purity in relationships, reflecting God's design for human relationships.
