2 Peter 2:14

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Having eyes full of adultery,.... For the seventh command is not only violated by unclean actions, and obscene words, but also by unchaste looks: and so the Jews explain that precept,""thou shalt not commit adultery", Ex 20:14; you shall not go after your hearts, nor after "your eyes"; says R.

Levi, the heart and the "eye" are sin's two brokers.'
