So he that goeth into his neighbour's wife,.... To converse with her, or lie with her, as the Targum; for it means not barely going into her house or chamber, or into her company, though without any ill design at first, which yet may be dangerous; but committing adultery with her, as this phrase is often used, Ge 19:31;whosoever toucheth her; by impure dalliances, and especially by carnal copulation with her, in which sense it is used, See Gill on "1Co 7:1";shall not be innocent; or free from disgrace and infamy, from loss of substance or health; from punishment in this life, either by the jealous husband or civil magistrate; and in the world to come by the Lord himself; for "whoremongers and adulterers God will judge", Heb 13:4.
