“ … an adulteress will prey upon his precious life. Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?... So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; Whoever touches her shall not be innocent.” PROVERBS 6:26-27, 29
The price of adultery is an ordeal for too costly to shoulder
Whoever believes that it is alright to have a quick fling or a one-night stand is a fool. You are playing with fire. Do you now know what will happen when you play with fire? You will be torched and left with third degree burns (Prov 6:27); life will certainly not be the same again after that extremely painful ordeal. You will be subject to the awful consequences of your own actions (James 1:14-15). Therefore if you are married, be careful not to allow any spark of lust to develop between you and working partners whom you work closely with (Prov 6:32-35; Titus 2:12).

「因為妓女能使人只剩一塊餅,淫婦獵取人寶貴的生命。人若懷裏搋火,衣服豈能不燒呢?親近鄰舍之妻的,也是如此。凡挨近她的,不免受罰。」
-(箴言六章26-27節、29節)
如同難以承受的磨難
淫行的代價太過慘重
凡是認為玩玩曖昧或一夜情其實無所謂的人,都是不知自己在玩火的愚昧人。你可知道玩火的下場是什麼嗎?玩火的人終將被火燒到,甚至被燒得三度灼傷(參考箴言六章27節);受此萬分痛苦的磨難之後,往後的人生肯定無法恢復原樣;自己行為不檢點招惹了事情,就得自己去承擔可怕的後果(參考雅各書一章14-15節)。因此,如果你是已婚人士,要小心別與工作上緊密合作的夥伴擦出情慾的火花(參考箴言六章32-35節;提多書二章12節)。

… tetapi isteri orang lain memburu nyawa yang berharga. Dapatkah orang membawa api dalam gelumbung baju dengan tidak terbakar pakaiannya? Demikian juga orang yang menghampiri isteri sesamanya; tiada seorang pun, yang menjamahnya, luput dari hukuman. AMSAL 6:26-27, 29
