Ye are forbidden to commit adultery, sodomy and lechery.
Avoid them, o concourse of the faithful. By the righteousness of God! Ye have
been called into being to purge the world from the defilement of evil passions.
This is what the Lord of all mankind hath enjoined upon you, could ye but
perceive it. He who relateth himself to the All-Merciful and committeth satanic
deeds, verily he is not of Me. Unto this beareth witness every atom, pebble,
tree and fruit, and beyond them this ever-proclaiming, truthful and trustworthy
Tongue.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by the Universal House of Justice in a letter
dated 11 September 1995)
