In the Bible, the word “prostitute” is also used to talk about a person who worships false gods or who does evil things. The prophets told the kingdoms Israel and Judah that they acted like a prostitute when they did not honor their covenant with Yahweh. Israel and Judah also acted like a prostitute when they worshiped false gods (see: Ezekiel 16; Hosea 3:1-5; 4:10-13).

#### More Information About This Topic
Paul warned Christians against having sex with a prostitute (see: 1 Corinthians 6:12-20). A Christian’s physical body belongs to Jesus. It should not be used for sexual immorality.
The book of Revelation talks about “the great prostitute” (see: Revelation 17; 19:2). She is also called “Babylon the great.” The great prostitute is a symbol of a sinful person, a sinful city, or a sinful nation. The words “mother of prostitutes” are used to talk about this sinful person, city, or nation causing other people to sin (see: Revelation 17:5)
