Commentaries on Exodus 20:14
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14Thou shalt not commit adultery - Adultery, as defined by our laws, is of two kinds; double, when between two married persons; single, when one of the parties is married, the other single. One principal part of the criminality of adultery consists in its injustice. It robs a man of his right by taking from him the affection of his wife. It does him a wrong by fathering on him and obliging him to maintain as his own a spurious offspring - a child which is…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1-17Verses 1-17 The Hebrew name which is rendered in our King James Version as the ten commandments occurs in Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 4:13; Deuteronomy 10:4.

When a person commits adultery, that person seeks sexual pleasure outside of marriage and breaks trust with a spouse. This command teaches faithfulness in marriage and purity in sexual behavior. Jesus later expanded this teaching in Matthew 5:27–30.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-261. And God spake all these words--The Divine Being Himself was the speaker (De 5:12, 32, 33), in tones so loud as to be heard--so distinct as to be intelligible by the whole multitude standing in the valleys below, amid the most appalling phenomena of agitated nature. Had He been simply addressing rational and intelligent creatures, He would have spoken with the still small voice of persuasion and love. But He was speaking to those who were at the same…Read the comment
