Q. 108   What is God’s will for you in the Seventh Commandment?

God condemns all unchastity. We should therefore thoroughly detest it and, married or single, live decent and chaste lives.

Q. 109   Does God, in this commandment, forbid only such scandalous sins as adultery?

We are temples of the Holy Spirit, body and soul, and God wants both to be kept clean and holy. That is why He forbids everything which incites unchastity, whether it be actions, looks, talk, thoughts, or desires.
