²⁵ In like manner wasn't Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?

³¹ By faith, Rahab the prostitute, didn't perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.

⁵ Salmon became the father of Boaz by Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed by Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse.

²² Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, Go into the prostitute's house, and bring out there the woman, and all that she has, as you swore to her.

²³ The young men the spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all that she had; all her relatives also they brought out; and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.

¹⁵ Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was on the side of the wall, and she lived on the wall.

⁴ The woman took the two men, and hid them; and she said, Yes, the men came to me, but I didn't know whence they were:

²² You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;

³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said to him, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you.

¹⁷ The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is therein, to Yahweh: only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

⁶ But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.
