“And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.”
Bible
“And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.”
“Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? / For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
“What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what is a theatre? are they two and not one? Can they exist separate? Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion. O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride!”
William Blake
“If a woman hasn't got a tiny streak of harlot in her, she's a dry stick as a rule”
D.H. Lawrence
“Every harlot was a virgin once.”
“Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.”
