Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 5:27
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Matt 5:27 · Douay-Rheims
“You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
On this verse:
“(cont. Faust. xix. 23.) He then goes on to correct the error of the Pharisees, declaring, Whoso looketh upon a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery already with her in his heart. For the commandment of the Law, Thou shall not lust after thy neighbour’s wife, (Exod. 20:17.) the Jews understood of taking her away, not of committing adultery with her.”
