Day 324. Why does God forbid adultery?

Today is day 324 and we are studying The Seventh Commandment.

324. Why does God forbid adultery?

Adultery is a sin against one’s spouse or spouse-to-be; against the sexual partners with whom it is committed; against their children, family, and friends; against human society by undermining the institution of marriage; and against God, in whose Name marriage vows are made. (2 Samuel 11:2–12:14; Proverbs 5; Malachi 2:13–16)

We will conclude today by praying Proper 6 found on page 616 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
