Greek: πορνεία (Porneia) = Fornication; any sexual activity outside the covenant of marriage.
Jesus raises the standard from the physical act to the condition of the heart, exposing inner lust as adultery before God.
Adultery in the heart is entertaining lustful thoughts or desires toward someone who is not your spouse.
Adultery in the flesh is the physical act of sex between a married person and someone who is not their spouse.
