Romans 10:14-21
14 “How, then, can they call on THE ONE they have not
believed in? And how can they believe in THE ONE of whom they have not heard? And how
can they hear without someone preaching to them?
15 And how can anyone preach unless
they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring
GOOD NEWS!’
16 But not all the Israelites
accepted THE GOOD NEWS. For
Isaiah says, ‘LORD,
who has believed our message?’
17 Consequently, FAITH comes from
hearing THE MESSAGE, and
THE MESSAGE is
heard through THE WORD
about CHRIST.
18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of
course they did:
‘Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the
world.’
19 Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,
‘I will make you envious by those who are not a nation;
I will make you angry by a nation
that has no understanding.’
20 And Isaiah boldly says,
‘I was found by those who did not seek me;
I revealed myself to those who did
not ask for me.’
21 But concerning Israel he says,
‘All day long I have held out my hands
to a disobedient and obstinate
people.’ “
