箴言6:20-35

6:20 我兒，要謹守你父親的誡命；不可離棄你母親的法則（或譯：指教），
6:21 要常繫在你心上，掛在你項上。
6:22 你行走，它必引導你；你躺臥，它必保守你；你睡醒，它必與你談論。
6:23 因為誡命是燈，法則（或譯：指教）是光，訓誨的責備是生命的道，
6:24 能保你遠離惡婦，遠離外女諂媚的舌頭。
6:25 你心中不要戀慕她的美色，也不要被她眼皮勾引。
6:26 因為，妓女能使人只剩一塊餅；淫婦獵取人寶貴的生命。
6:27 人若懷裡搋火，衣服豈能不燒呢？
6:28 人若在火炭上走，腳豈能不燙呢？
6:29 親近鄰舍之妻的，也是如此；凡挨近她的，不免受罰。
6:30 賊因飢餓偷竊充飢，人不藐視他，
6:31 若被找著，他必賠還七倍，必將家中所有的盡都償還。
6:32 與婦人行淫的，便是無知；行這事的，必喪掉生命。
6:33 他必受傷損，必被凌辱；他的羞恥不得塗抹。
6:34 因為人的嫉恨成了烈怒，報仇的時候決不留情。
6:35 甚麼贖價，他都不顧；你雖送許多禮物，他也不肯幹休。

²⁰ My son, keep your father’s command
    and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
²¹ Bind them always on your heart;
    fasten them around your neck.
²² When you walk, they will guide you;
    when you sleep, they will watch over you;
    when you awake, they will speak to you.
²³ For this command is a lamp,
    this teaching is a light,
and correction and instruction
    are the way to life,
²⁴ keeping you from your neighbor’s wife,
    from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.

²⁵ Do not lust in your heart after her beauty
    or let her captivate you with her eyes.

²⁶ For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread,
    but another man’s wife preys on your very life.
²⁷ Can a man scoop fire into his lap
    without his clothes being burned?
²⁸ Can a man walk on hot coals
    without his feet being scorched?
²⁹ So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife;
    no one who touches her will go unpunished.

³⁰ People do not despise a thief if he steals
    to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.
³¹ Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold,
    though it costs him all the wealth of his house.
³² But a man who commits adultery has no sense;
    whoever does so destroys himself.
³³ Blows and disgrace are his lot,
    and his shame will never be wiped away.

³⁴ For jealousy arouses a husband’s fury,
    and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
³⁵ He will not accept any compensation;
    he will refuse a bribe, however great it is.

    通姦的行為是從人的「性慾」產生的，是對婚姻制度有很大的殺傷力。不僅如此，人還會因為妒忌產生兇殺的事件。所以，人要躲避通姦的行為，避免一些被傷害得事情，好使自己不致得罪上帝和侵犯人。

    然而是出於情慾的事，就像內賊一樣，是無法防範的，必須要有強而有力的提醒，那就是來自父親和母親的教導和提醒，這是上帝賦予我們重要的良心來源。所以，我們要感謝上帝賜下這樣的管道，除了我們受父母照顧外，我們也要協助我們的兒女。因為通姦的行為，常常發生於親子關係出了問題的人。

    願上帝幫助我們，讓每個基督徒的家庭，通過家庭教育來防治通姦的行為，使婚姻能保持穩固，使社會安定，減少兇殺的事情。
