2:25 James presents Rahab the prostitute (see Josh 2:1) as his second example of how good works must accompany genuine faith. She declared her belief that the Lord God of Israel was the only God (Josh 2:9-11), and her faith was made perfect by her actions when she provided hospitality and a means of escape to the Israelite spies (Josh 2:1-6; 6:25; Heb 11:31).
