Relationship

A relationship is an investment. 

It's an investment of time...

of effort...

of money...

of almost everything in our lives. 

Above all our relationships, 

the best relationship that we must invest on 

is our relationship with God...

for when we invest our time, 

our money, 

our effort,

and our everything to God, 

there is no waste...

but there is a better return.

How Does The Bible Define A Man Who Commits Adultery?

There are many verses in the Bible to warn people not to commit adultery but i just want to share here two of my bible readings today which are found in Proverbs 6:32-33 and I want to share them here in different versions:

New International Version:

"But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself. Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away."

Amplified Bible:

"But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks heart and understanding (moral principle and prudence); he who does it is destroying his own life. Wounds and disgrace will he get, and his reproach will not be wiped away."

The Message Translations:

"Adultery is a brainless act, soul-destroying, self-destructive; Expect a bloody nose, a black eye, and a reputation ruined for good."

New Century Version:

"A man who takes part in adultery has no sense; he will destroy himself. He will be beaten up and disgraced, and his shame will never go away."

New Living Translation:

But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool, for he destroys himself. He will be wounded and disgraced. His shame will never be erased."

New King James Version:

"Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding;  He who does so destroys his own soul. Wounds and dishonour he will get, And his reproach will not be wiped away."

Thoughts: These verses are very strong. If you consider yourself intelligent and wise but commits adultery, in the eyes of God, you're still a fool. Adultery is a brainless act. Think about it. I pray that God will make you more faithful to your spouse.
