Apocrypha · Chapter 122 of 148
Wisdom of Faith
Mary said: "My Lord, what is the judgment of him who committeth adultery and fornication?"
2Jesus answered: "The soul of the adulterer and the fornicator is led into the fiery pit of burning brimstone.
3"And the receivers torment it with burning scourges because it hath defiled the temple of the body and given itself unto the lusts of matter.
4"And when its time is completed, it is cast into a deformed body to undergo sorrow and sickness in the world."
