He who does not regard adulteries as sins, both in faith and in life, is not a Christian, neither has he any religion. But on the other hand, he who shuns adulteries as sins, and especially he who on that account holds them in aversion, and still more he who on that account abominates them, has religion, and if he is in the Christian Church he is a Christian. But more will be seen on this subject in the treatise on MARRIAGE. Meantime see what is said concerning it in the work on HEAVEN AND HELL Nos. 366-386.
