# In the same way also ... justified by works

James says that what was true of Abraham was also true of Rahab. Both were justified by works.

# was not Rahab the prostitute justified by works ... another road?

James is using this rhetorical question to instruct his audience. Alternate translation: "it was what Rahab the prostitute did that justified her ... another road." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

# was not Rahab the prostitute justified by works ... another road?
This can be restated to remove the abstract noun "works." This can also be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "did God not justify Rahab the prostitute because of what she did ... another road?" or "God justified Rahab the prostitute because of what she did ... another road." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

# Rahab the prostitute

James expects his audience to know the Old Testament story about the woman Rahab.

# messengers

people who bring news from another place

# sent them away by another road

"then helped them escape and leave the city"
