The unlawful sexual association of men and women. Although adultery generally refers to sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her spouse, in the scriptures it may also refer to the unmarried.

Sometimes adultery is used as a symbol for the apostasy of a nation or a whole people from the ways of the Lord (Num. 25:1–3; Ezek. 16:15–59; Jer. 3:6–10; Hosea 4).

  • Joseph would not do this great wickedness, and sin against God:Gen. 39:7–12;
  • Thou shalt not commit adultery:Ex. 20:14;
  • Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery in his heart:Matt. 5:28;
  • Neither fornicators nor adulterers shall inherit the kingdom of God:1 Cor. 6:9–10;
  • God will judge whoremongers and adulterers:Heb. 13:4;
  • Adultery is most abominable above all sins save it be the shedding of innocent blood or denying the Holy Ghost:Alma 39:3–5;
  • He that committeth adultery, and repenteth not, shall be cast out:D&C 42:23–26;
  • If any shall commit adultery in their hearts, they shall not have the Spirit:D&C 63:14–16;
