78. We can tell from what the Lord says in Matthew that adultery also means lecherous behavior, lewd conversation, and filthy thoughts:

You have heard that it was said by the ancients, "You are not to commit adultery;" but I tell you that anyone who has looked at someone else's wife in order to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Matthew 5:27-28)
