And remember the Lord Jesus Christ said:

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart (Matt. 5:27-28).

And: 'If ye love me, keep my commandments.' (John 14:15)
