but as soon as this thy son was come, who hath eaten up thy substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of an harlot?

God forbid! What! know ye not that he who is joined to an harlot is one body with her? for these two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with the unbelievers, having received the spies with peace.

And there came one of the seven angels, that had the seven vials, and talked with me and said, Come hither, and I will shew thee the judgement of the great harlot, that sitteth upon many waters:

And upon her forehead was a name written, "Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of harlots, and of the abominations of the earth."

And he said unto me, The waters which thou sawest, whereon the harlot sitteth, are people, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
