Sleeping with another man’s wife knowingly or unknowingly attracts some curses or punishments.
Please read the whole of Genesis 20 to get a clear picture of this.
Abraham was in Gerar as a foreigner and he introduced his wife to people as his sister. This could be as a result of fear of the people attacking and killing him or for financial benefits.
The King, Abimelech took interest in Sarah, Abraham’s wife and sent for her to be brought to him. Mind you, Abimelech did not know that Sarah was Abraham’s wife, he thought she was his sister.
Here is the Punishment he would have had if he had slept with Sarah
Genesis 20:3, “But that night God came to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “You are a dead man”
So the punishment for sleeping with another man’s wife is death, it could be death in career, in business, in relationships or even physical death!
Genesis 20:3B, “…For that woman you have taken is already married!
Wow! The only reason God gave Abimelech is that the woman he took is already married.
In Verse 4-5 of the same chapter… but Abimelech had not slept with her yet, so he said, “Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation? Didn’t Abraham tell me, ‘She is wife my sister’? And she herself said, ‘Yes, he is my brother.’ I acted in complete innocence! My hands are clean.
The only reason God did not punish Abimelech and the entire nation of Gerar was because he had not touched the woman yet, though he had intention to anyway!
And God…in Verse 6 responded, “Yes, I know you are innocent. That’s why I kept you from sinning against me, and why I did not let you touch her.
Oho! Can you see that? God did not want to punish him because of his innocence so He did not allow Abimelech touch Sarah because if he had, whether knowingly or not , then he would have been punished.
Yet men sleep with other men’s wife, they rape other men’s wife without a care on earth! They no longer even hide to do it these days and yet, there’s a great punishment- which is death, for sleeping with another man’s wife.
Like I earlier said, it could be death in physical or in career and business, etc.
If you have slept with another man’s wife, what do you do?
Good Question;
1 John 1:9 wants us to confess our sins and ask for forgiveness and God will forgive u. If u ask u then make sure u dont go back to it again. See, one of things that will let people burn in hell is because every sin we do involves our will power. The devil has no power over to cause u to sin without u involving ur will. If the devil forces people to sin against their will then On the judgement day everybody will be free and only saran will be judged because he forced us to sin. Jesus bought back our will power. So without your involvement you can't sin. I have never seen or heard Satan unzipping a man's trousers to have sex with a woman.
Check the picture below, is it Satan removing the panties of the woman or is the man.? You know the answer.
Now the curse of sleeping with another man’s wife goes beyond just the man alone, now it goes on even unto his family; his children and other household members.
From Genesis 20:8 to the end Abimelech returned Sarah as God instructed, he was pardoned and Abraham prayed for him and he did not die.
Genesis 20:17, Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife and his female servants, so they could have children. For the Lord had caused all the women to be infertile because of what happened with Abraham’s wife Sarah.
Gentleman, please don't be too bold to touch another man's wife because you will dearly pay for it and your innocent children will also reap what you planted. And the married woman who also stoop so low for a man to touch you whiles you are still married should be very careful because you are sowing a bad seed and you will reap it one day if you don't repent from it, mark it.

The shot of it is: Sleep only with your spouse.

yes it is

How about the woman who sleeps with another man that is not her husband?

What is her punishment?

What of the girls that sleep with married men, no punishment for them? No wonder they marry the best husbands despite all the do. Married men can have affairs but married women can't. Patriarchy indeed started from the bible .

Girls die when they sleep with a man who is not their husband and that is when they become evil and pursuing after Satan. 1 Timothy 5 has everything

But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. Same as Proverbs 2:16-19.

And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

For some are already turned aside after Satan.

God cuts them off completely and they there after become devils. Thus any girl or woman who sleeps around is a devil prowling and seeking to destroy men as Proverbs 2 warns

16To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

And only they that listen to God and Obey Him, escape from her evil hands and voice and sweet perfume and unclothedness.

@ the bolded, with this logic, about three quarter of girls aged 18 to 50 would have been dropping like flies, but they aint. But that's not your concern. Logic isn't exactly your strong point. Youre indeed legendary, oh great DTruthSpeaker

I have not seen all these apply in real life. All the girls I know who specialized in married men back then are not dead in any area. They are not sick either, lacking financially, etc. Infact they married rich men, married abroad based men that relocated them, are on a completely new level, have enough money and are healthy. So I am not convinced.

You actually see it but you do not understand like this guy

Look at how the women were covering up for the girl and blocking the guy from seeing.

It is as real as Nepa taking your light but now you understand why Christ Said many have eyes yet do not see.

Did you not see up there
"But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth."?

You are so accustomed to your blindness that you do not see that some people can see.

It is very understandable that the blind do not see.

The Bible and my words is for those who see and not for the blind.

I am not saying you are not correct, infact its true but its only applicable to faithful men. No one touches the wife of God's faithful men and not get struck.

Actually, no one can touch the wife of God's elect. That is one of the guarantees.

The story is not about sleeping with another man’s wife. It is a story of attaining wealth by any cost including extortion.
Abraham obviously lies about his wife being his sister, or did he? His wife is also his sister after all.
Lord God didn’t have any issues with Abraham’s lies but he is quick to threaten Abimelech with all kinds of horrors unless Abraham is paid off, and an earlier episode has Lord God, Abram, and Sarah performing the same scam in Egypt.

Lord God the yahoo yahoo


7 Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live.

12 Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not of my mother; and she became my wife. 13 And when God had me wander from my father’s household, I said to her, ‘This is how you can show your love to me: Everywhere we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”’”

14 Then Abimelek brought sheep and cattle and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham, and he returned Sarah his wife to him. 15 And Abimelek said, “My land is before you; live wherever you like.”

17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelek, his wife and his female slaves so they could have children again, 18 for the Lord had kept all the women in Abimelek’s household from conceiving because of Abraham’s wife Sarah.

Lol, I think she is safe as long as it’s an open marriage like Abraham’s. Abraham was getting cockholded willingly, Sarah was jumping into everyone’s bed, and Lord God was extorting everyone. That’s the arrangement that is required.
