Insofar as [[Protestant]] and [[Catholic]] [[Scripture]] is concerned, [[adultery]] is a physical manifestation of the [[sin nature]]; its concept includes actions and thoughts like [[fornication]], [[lust]], or physical/emotional intimacy beyond what is "appropriate" for a married man or woman. In the Bible, adultery is a physical manifestation of the [[sin nature]], where any married person engages in sexual activity with anyone other than his/her spouse. The [[Torah]] forbids adultery most notably in the [[Ten Commandments]] - its punishment: death. Sexual activity before the context of [[marriage]] is known as [[fornication]]. "Imaginary" sexual activity outside the context of [[marriage]] is known as [[lust]]. A supplemental note: this [[sin nature]], according to the [[Protestant]] and [[Catholic]] [[Bible]], is forgiven for all mankind, on an individual basis, forever, via the death, burial, and [[resurrection]] of [[Jesus Christ]], predicated on belief in [[Him]] as the [[Son of God]], and willingness to [[repent]], or turn, from the [[sin nature]].

As American morés are concerned,[[adultery]] is any kind of sexual activity between a married person and a partner other than his/her lawful spouse. It is a legal violation of the legal contract "[[marriage]]". Furthermore, in America, [[adultery]] is a concept dependent upon one or both individuals involved currently being in a lawfully recognized, contractual, love relationship known as [[marriage]].
