Does God forbid nothing more in this Commandment than adultery and such gross sins?

Heidelberg Catechism

Question 109. Does God forbid nothing more in this Commandment than adultery and such gross sins?

Answer. Since both our body and soul are temples of the Holy Spirit, it is His will that we keep both pure and holy; therefore, He forbids all unchaste actions, gestures, words,[1] thoughts, desires,[2] and whatever may entice thereto.[3]

[2] Mt 5:27-30;
[3] 1 Cor 15:33; Eph 5:18-19
