### 109. Q. Does God, in this commandment, forbid only such scandalous sins as adultery?

**A**. We are temples of the Holy Spirit, body and soul, and God wants both to be kept clean and holy. That is why God forbids all unchaste actions, looks, talk, thoughts, or desires,<sup>1</sup> and whatever may incite someone to them.<sup>2</sup>
