 “You shall not commit adultery” Exodus 20:14

“Marriage is honourable among all, and the bed undefiled, but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.” Heb 13: 4

“But I, Jesus,  say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Matthew 5:28 (NKJV)

CONSEQUENCES for unrepentant and unforgiven people who are adulterers, fornicators, idolaters, homosexuals, sodomites, thieves, drunkards, revilers or extortioners

A clear WARNING by Father God Who loves you, Who wants to forgive you, Who wants to bless you and Who wants to give you His Power to overcome the temptations thrown at you.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NKJV) 9 
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? 
Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 

PLEASE NOTE v.11 And such were some of you.  ……………..BUT !!!
But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
i.e. THERE WAS REPENTANCE  and FORGIVENESS for some of them!
 
ANOTHER CLEAR WARNING by Father God Who loves you very much:
Proverbs 5 (NKJV)
5 My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
Lend your ear to my understanding,
2 That you may preserve discretion,
And your lips may keep knowledge.
3 For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey,
And her mouth is smoother than oil;
4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
Sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death,
Her steps lay hold of hell.[a]
6 Lest you ponder her path of life—
Her ways are unstable;
You do not know them.
 
21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord,
And He ponders all his paths.
22 His own iniquities entrap the wicked man,
And he is caught in the cords of his sin.
23 He shall die for lack of instruction,
And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
