313# 在属世意义上，这条诫命不仅涵盖了通奸，还涵盖了意愿和行为的淫秽，以及随之而来的思维和言语的不洁或放荡。仅仅动淫念，或贪恋通奸就是通奸了，这一点从主的话明显看出来：
你们听见古人有话说，不可通奸。只是我告诉你们，凡看见别人的妻子就对她动淫念的，心里已经与她通奸了。（马太福音5:27，28）
其原因在于，当淫欲进入意愿时，它可以说就变成了行为，或说获得了行为的性质；因为诱惑只进入理解力，而意图进入意愿；淫欲的意图就是行为。但关于这个主题，详情可参看1768年于阿姆斯特丹出版的《婚姻之爱》（或《婚姻之爱和淫乱之爱》）；那里论述了以下主题：婚姻之爱和淫乱之爱的对立（CL 423-443节）；私通（CL 444-460节）；通奸，以及通奸的不同种类和级别（CL 478-499节）；奸污处女或破处的淫欲（CL 501-505节）；沉溺于多样性的淫欲（CL 506-510节）；侵犯或强奸的淫欲（CL 511，512节）；诱惑纯真的淫欲（CL 513，514节）；淫乱之爱和婚姻之爱的归算（CL 523-531节）。这条诫命在属世意义上就涵盖了这一切。
313. 第六誡 不可姦淫就屬世之義而言, 此誡涉及的不僅是通姦, 還包括有淫念並去實行, 以及沉溺於淫穢的思想和言辭。從下列主的言語可看出, 有淫欲也算行邪淫了:你們聽見有話說:"不可姦淫。"只是我告訴你們, 凡看見婦女就動淫念的, 這人心裡已經與她犯姦淫了(馬太福音5:27-28)。
這是因為, 當淫欲進入人的意志時, 就變成事實上的行為了。誘惑只是進入人的認知之中, 而圖謀則進入人的意志當中; 基於淫欲的圖謀其實是行為。
關於這個話題, 可在我所寫書中找到更多說明(『婚姻之愛』, 1768年發表於阿姆斯特丹)。其中一部分講到契合之愛的對立面(婚姻之愛423-443); 關於通姦(婚姻之愛 444a-460); 行淫的種類和程度(婚姻之愛478-499); 破壞女子貞操的性欲(婚姻之愛501-505); 尋歡作樂的欲望(婚姻之愛506-510); 強姦的欲望(婚姻之愛511-512); 勾引天真者的淫欲(婚姻之愛513-514); 對不貞之愛與婚姻之愛的責任(婚姻之愛523, 531)。所有上述概念, 都是此誡屬世意義所涵蓋範圍。
313. The Sixth Commandment
You Are Not to Commit Adultery
In its earthly meaning, this commandment covers not only committing adultery but also wanting to do and doing things that are obscene, and also having wanton thoughts and expressing them. As the Lord's words make clear, craving to commit adultery is committing adultery:
You have heard that it was said by the ancients, "You are not to commit adultery. " But I say to you that if a man looks at someone else's wife in such a way that he craves her, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Matthew 5:27-28)
The reason is that craving becomes a virtual deed when it is in the will. An attraction enters only our intellect, but an intention enters our will; and an intention based on a craving is a deed.
On these topics, see many things in the work Marriage Love and Promiscuous Love, published in Amsterdam, 1768. There are treatments there on the opposite of marriage love, 423-443; on promiscuity, 444[b]-460; on different kinds and degrees of adultery, 478-499; on obsession with defloration, 501-505; on the craving for variety, 506-510; on the craving for rape, 511, 512; on obsession with seducing the innocent, 513, 514; and on accountability for the love of infidelity and the love of marriage, 523-531. All the above are covered by this commandment in its earthly meaning.
313. THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT
You are not to commit adultery.
In the natural sense, this commandment forbids not only committing adultery, but also having obscene desires and realising them, and so indulging in lascivious thoughts and talk. It is clear from these words of the Lord that even lusting is committing adultery:
You have heard that it was said by the men of old, You are not to commit adultery. But I say to you, that if anyone looks at another man's wife so as to lust after her, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart, Matthew 5:27-28.
The reason is that when lust is in the will, it becomes like a deed; for the enticement only enters the understanding, but the intention enters the will, and a lustful intention is a deed. More on this subject can be found in my book CONJUGIAL LOVE AND SCORTATORY 1 LOVE, published at Amsterdam in 1768. This contains sections on the opposition of [scortatory and] conjugial love (<../cl/423.htm">Conjugial Love 423-443); fornication (<../cl/444.htm">444-460); types degrees of adultery (<../cl/478.htm">478-499); the lust for deflowering (<../cl/501.htm">501-505); the lust for variety (<../cl/506.htm">506-510); the lust for rape (<../cl/511.htm">511-512); the lust for seducing the innocent (<../cl/513.htm">513-514); the imputation of either love, both scortatory and conjugial (<../cl/523.htm">523-531). All these ideas are meant by this commandment in the natural sense.

313. THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT.
THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.
In the natural sense, this commandment means not only not to commit adultery, but it refers also to willing and doing obscene things and thinking and speaking about lascivious things. That merely to lust is to commit adultery, is evident from the Lord's words:
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery. But I say to you, that everyone that looketh on another man's wife to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart (Matthew 5:27, 28).
The reason of this is that when lust enters the will it becomes, as it were, deed; for allurement enters into the understanding only, but into the will, intention; and the intention of a lust is a deed. But more on this subject may be seen in the work on Marriage Love and Scortatory Love (Amsterdam, 1768), which treats, On the Opposition of Marriage to Scortatory Love (<../cl/423.htm">n. 423-443); On Fornication (<../cl/444.htm">n. 444-460); On Adulteries and the Different Kinds and Degrees of Adultery (<../cl/478.htm">n. 478-499); On the Lust of Defloration (n. <../cl/501.htm">501-505); On the Lust for Variety (n. <../cl/506.htm">. 506-510); On the Lust of Violation (<../cl/511.htm">n. 511, 512); On the Lust of Seducing Innocences (<../cl/513.htm">n. 513, 514); On the Imputation of Scortatory Love and of Marriage Love (<../cl/523.htm">n. 523-531). All of these things are meant by this commandment in the natural sense.
313. THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT
THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.
In the natural sense, this commandment means not only the committing of adultery, but also obscenity of will and conduct, and consequently impurity of thought and speech. That merely to lust is to commit adultery is evident from the words of the Lord:
"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 upon a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart" Matthew 5:27-28.
This is because lust, when in the will, acquires the nature of an act; for into the understanding enters allurement only, but into the will, intention; and the intention of lust is the deed. More, however, may be seen on this subject in the work, "Conjugial Love and Scortatory Love," published at Amsterdam in 1768, where the following subjects are dealt with: The opposition between conjugial and scortatory love, <../cl/423.htm">423-443; fornication, <../cl/444.htm">444-460; the several kinds and degrees of adultery, <../cl/478.htm">478-499; the lust of deflowering virgins, <../cl/501.htm">501-505; the lust of indulging in varieties, <../cl/506.htm">506-510; the lust of violation, <../cl/511.htm">511-512: the lust of seducing innocence, <../cl/513.htm">513-514; the imputation of love, both scortatory and conjugial, <../cl/523.htm">523-531. All these things are implied by this commandment in its natural sense.
313. SEXTUM PRAECEPTUM.
Non Moechaberis.
In SENSU NATURALI, per hoc Praeceptum intelligitur non modo Moechari, sed etiam obscaena velle et facere, et inde lasciva cogitare et loqui: quod modo concupiscere sit moechari, constat ex his Domini verbis, Audivistis quod a veteribus dictum, non moechaberis; Ego vero dico vobis, quod si quis aspexerit mulierem alienam, ita ut concupiscat eam, jam adulterium cum illa commiserit in corde suo, 1 Matthaeus 5:27-28: causa est, quia concupiscentia fit sicut factum, dum in voluntate est, nam in Intellectum modo intrat illecebra, at in voluntatem intentio, ac intentio concupiscentiae est factum: sed plura de his videantur in Opere de AMORE CONJUGIALI, ET DE AMORE SCORTATORIO, Amstelodami An. 1768 edito, in quo actum est, de Oppositione Amoris conjugialis 423-443, de Fornicatione, 444-460, de Adulteriis et illorum generibus et gradibus, 478-499, 2 De Libidine deflorationis, 501-505, De Libidine varietatum, 506-510, De Libidine violationis, 511-512, De Libidine seducendi innocentias, 513-514, De Imputatione utriusque amoris, scortatorii et conjugialis, 523-531. Haec omnia intelliguntur per hoc Praeceptum in Naturali Sensu.
