You adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore chooses to be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says the LORD; I remember you, the kindness of your youth, your bridal love, when you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.

Then said the LORD to me, Keep on going, love a woman beloved by her friend, though an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.
But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation looks for a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah:
A wicked and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
