Exodus 20:14

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

This commandment forbids every form of sensuality in act or thought.

(1) The most fearful denunciations of Scripture are against sensuality.

(2) Nature protests against it.

(3) It breaks down the moral principalities.

(4) It does violence to the virtues.

(5) It ruins others; it involves other persons in guilt.

(6) It leads to every other sin.

(7) It frustrates the great end of human life.

Conclusion:

(8) Beware of beginnings;

(9) Give this passion no allowance in your thought;

(10) Be watchful against the least temptation;

(11) Avoid bad associates;

(12) Avoid every incentive to vice in dress, in fashion;

(13) Attend to the words of wisdom;

(14) Give your hearts to Christ.-- W. Warren.

The Savior rebukes sensual thoughts as adultery and fornication in embryo.
