'''Prostitution''' is the exchange of [[sex]]ual favors for [[money]]. The [[Bible]] in general holds prostitution in contempt, but [[Jesus Christ]] showed considerably more understanding, saving an adultress from stoning by a mob stating "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her". Also, [[Rahab]] the [[harlot]] is redeemed for receiving two [[espionage|spies]] from [[Joshua]] and allowing them to escape their pursuers.

In certain other [[religion]]s such as [[Hinduism]] and the historical worship of [[Aphrodite]] prostitution formed an integral part of the sacred rites.
