The Wicked Bible or Adulterer's Bible
Adultery may ruin trust between husband and wife and break up families. It is contrary to the traditional marriage pronouncement derived from Matthew 19:6: "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

==The "Wicked Bible"==
In 1631 (some sources say 1632<ref>Summon, Parmenter ((2006), Summon's Bible Miscellany, "Bibles Named for Typographical Errors," [http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN080283390X&id=T5yqqPJMfF8C&pg=PA26&lpg=PA26&ots=RV_L8XS6TQ&dq=bible+1631&ie=ISO-8859-1&sig=hE1z3Rglg7BzAaA0P4LZ9ZfZMhk p. 26], a version of the Bible was commissioned by Charles I which became known as the "wicked Bible" or the "adulterer's Bible" because Exodus 20:14 read "Thou shalt commit adultery." The printers, Barker and Lucas, were fined £3000 and all copies were destroyed.<ref>[http://www.edginet.org/christian/sermons/exodus20_14.html Ben's sermon: Adultery]</ref>
