Answer
Dear Sir,
Peace!
Adulterers deserve to be put to death for their heinous crime.
Confess your sin to your wife and to your master.

If you don't have the spiritual strength to commit suicide then at least stop pretending to be something you are not: you are most definitely NOT a spiritual leader of any kind, since a true "pastor" would never dream of performing such a dastardly deed as adultery.

Therefore, repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand!

Bye,
