Which commandment says not to commit adultery?

• A. The Third Commandment
• B. The Fifth Commandment
• C. The Sixth Commandment
• D. The Eighth Commandment

Answer: (C)

Not committing adultery means staying faithful to your spouse and not having a relationship with someone else. The commandment that teaches this explicitly is the rule about marital fidelity. In the numbering used here, that instruction is the one about faithfulness in marriage. So the best answer is the option that fits this idea because it directly matches what not adulterating means. Other numbers point to different commandments—honoring parents, not taking a life, not stealing, and so on—which are unrelated to faithfulness in marriage.
