2 Peter 2:14

“Having eyes full of adultery, etc.] For the seventh command is not only violated by unclean actions, and obscene words, but also by unchaste looks: and so the Jews explain f33 that precept, ““thou shalt not commit adultery”, (<022014>Exodus 20:14); you shall not go after your hearts, nor after “your eyes”; says R.
