New Testament

Proverbs 6:28-35 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

28. Or could he walk over burning coals, so that his feet would not be burned?

29. So also, he who enters to the wife of his neighbor shall not be clean when he touches her.

30. Not so great is the fault when someone has stolen. For he steals so as to satisfy a hungry soul.

31. Also, if he is apprehended, he shall repay sevenfold and hand over all the substance of his house.

32. But whoever is an adulterer, because of the emptiness of his heart, will destroy his own soul.

33. He gathers shame and dishonor to himself, and his disgrace will not be wiped away.

34. For the jealousy and fury of the husband will not spare him on the day of vindication,

35. nor will he agree to the pleadings of anyone, nor will he accept, as repayment, a multitude of gifts.
