Adulterers and Adulteresses
James 4:4
Surely, James would not address believers as adulterers and adulteresses. The Lord Jesus Christ was speaking to believers in his sermon on the mount and he said, "If ye then, being evil…" (Matthew 7:11). Self-righteous men have very little difficulty saying, “I am a sinner.” But to be told that in your flesh you are adulterers and adulteresses is an offense. So be it. We need to have our lewdness made manifest to us that we might continually flee to Christ in true faith.
