Jas.2.25

Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

Jas.2.25

The same with Rahab, the Jericho harlot. Wasn't her action in hiding God's spies and helping them escape--that seamless unity of believing and doing--what counted with God?

Jas.2.25

In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?

Jas.2.25

Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

Jas.2.25

Rahab the prostitute is another example of this. She was made right with God by her actions--when she hid those messengers and sent them safely away by a different road.
