- the adulterer:
- "If¹ a manª be foundª° lyingª° with¹ a womanª marriedª° to an husband,ª then they shall both¹¹ of them² die,ª° [both] the manª that layª° with¹ the woman,ª and the woman:ª so shalt thou put awayª° evilª from Israel.ª¹ ... Then ye shall bring²° them both² out¹¹¹ unto¹ the gateª of that¹ city,ª and ye shall stoneª° them with stonesª that they die;ª°¹ the damsel,ª becauseªª¹ she criedª° not,¹ [being] in the city;ª and the man,ª becauseªª¹ he hath humbledª°¹ his neighbour'sª wife:ª so thou shalt put awayª° evilª from amongª¹ you." {Deu 22:22-24} + "And Davidª saidª° unto¹ Nathan,ª I have sinnedª° against the LORD.ª And Nathanª saidª° unto¹ David,ª The LORDª also¹ hath put awayª° thy sin;ª thou shalt not¹ die.ª°" {2Sm 12:13} + "And the righteousª men,²¹ they¹ shall judgeª° them after the mannerª of adulteresses,ª° and after the manner² of women¹ that shedª° blood;ª because¹ they¹ [are] adulteresses,ª° and bloodª [is] in their hands.ª ... And the companyª shall stoneª°¹ them with stones,ª and dispatchª° them with their swords;ª they shall slayª° their sonsª and their daughters,ª and burn upª° their housesª with fire.ª" {Ezk 23:45-47} + "They sayª° unto him,ª Master,ª thisª womanª was takenª° in adultery,ª° in the very act.ª ... Nowª Mosesª inª the¹ lawª commandedª° us,ª that suchª should be stoned:ª° butª whatª sayestª° thou?ª" {Jhn 8:4-5}
