A thief must suffer [punishment]. [...] How then does the adulterer hope to escape a much more grievous punishment, for a crime which can admit of no reparation? A thief may steal for want of bread, but the adulterer sins because he has no undestanding (cf. Proverbs 6:32). He exposes himself to a deadly wound from a jealous husband, or an avenging magistrate. He contractts a blot upon his name which adheres to it indelibly and spreads itself even to his childresn (cf. Deut. 23:2). He may give all the substance of his house to the man whom he has injured, but it will not be accepted as an atonement for his life; for A FEE OF JEALOUSY IS KINDLED, which can be quenched only in his blood.
