In the New Testament, it is used to describe those who are unfaithful in their marital vows, often in a broader spiritual sense as well, indicating unfaithfulness to God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, adultery was considered a serious offense, often leading to severe social and legal consequences. In Jewish culture, the Law of Moses explicitly condemned adultery, and it was punishable by death (Leviticus 20:10). The New Testament continues this moral teaching, emphasizing the sanctity of marriage and fidelity as reflective of one's relationship with God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an adulterer<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>adulterers (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3432: μοιχός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μοιχός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">μοιχοῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">an adulterer</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/18-11.htm">Luke 18:11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/6-9.htm">1 Corinthians 6:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/13-4.htm">Hebrews 13:4</a>.
