Thus even though "thoughts" may not proceed to words or acts, still, they proceed from the heart and mind, and may be sinful, and may pollute one's soul. "He who looks after a woman, to lust after her, commits adultery" ( Matthew 5:28 ) This refuted the commonplace understanding of some of the Jews at that time who imagined that mere thoughts ...
This verse follows immediately after the prohibition against murder, and the Sermon follows this same pattern. The equation of lust with adultery is very similar to the earlier equation of anger and murder in Matthew 5:22.

If a married woman was raped by a man who is not her husband, only the rapist is punished for adultery. The victim is not punished: as the Bible declares, "this matter is similar to when a man rises up against his fellow and murders him"; just as a murder victim is not guilty of murder, a rape victim is not guilty of adultery.

The Bible says that "the love of money is the root of all evil." That may be true, but lust runs a close second, and may be the joker that throws a monkey wrench into money machine gears. Hiding ...
