Unlawful Sexual Relations

Matthew 5:27–30

1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Jehovah yourGod.+ 3After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do; and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their customs.+ 4Mine ordinances shall ye do and my statutes shall ye observe to walk therein: I am Jehovah yourGod.+ 5And ye shall observe my statutes and my judgments, by which the man that doeth them shall live: I am Jehovah.+ 6No one shall approach to any that is his near relation, to uncover his nakedness: I am Jehovah.+ 7The nakedness of thy father, and the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother: thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.+ 8The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.+ 9The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, born at home, or born abroad — their nakedness shalt thou not uncover.+ 10The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter — their nakedness shalt thou not uncover; for theirs is thy nakedness. 11The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father: she is thy sister: thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.+ 12The nakedness of thy father's sister shalt thou not uncover: she is thy father's near relation.+ 13The nakedness of thy mother's sister shalt thou not uncover; for she is thy mother's near relation. 14The nakedness of thy father's brother shalt thou not uncover; thou shalt not approach his wife: she is thine aunt.+ 15The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law shalt thou not uncover: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.+ 16The nakedness of thy brother's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy brother's nakedness.+ 17The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shalt thou not uncover; thou shalt not take her son's daughter, nor her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness: they are her near relations: it is wickedness.+ 18And thou shalt not take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness beside her, during her life.+ 19And thou shalt not approach a woman in the separation of her uncleanness to uncover her nakedness.+ 20And thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to become unclean with her.+ 21And thou shalt not give of thy seed to let them pass through [the fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thyGod: I am Jehovah.+ 22And thou shalt not lie with mankind as one lieth with a woman: it is an abomination.+ 23And thou shalt lie with no beast to become unclean therewith; and a woman shall not stand before a beast to lie down with it: it is confusion.+ 24Make not yourselves unclean in any of these things; for in all these have the nations which I am casting out before you made themselves unclean.+ 25And the land hath become unclean; and I visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants.+ 26But ye shall observe my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of all these abominations: the home-born, and the stranger that sojourneth among you;+ 27(for all these abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land hath been made unclean);+ 28that the land vomit you not out, when ye make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.+ 29For whoever committeth any of these abominations,...the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.+ 30And ye shall observe my charge, that ye commit not [any] of the abominable customs which were committed before you; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean therein: I am Jehovah yourGod.+
