Romans 10:11-20

¹¹For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame.” ¹²For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; ¹³for “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

¹⁴How then are they to call on Him in whom they have not believed? How are they to believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher? ¹⁵But how are they to preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!”

¹⁶However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” ¹⁷So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

¹⁸But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? On the contrary:

“Their voice has gone out into all the earth,

And their words to the ends of the world.”

¹⁹But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says,

“I will make you jealous with those who are not a nation,

With a foolish nation I will anger you.”

²⁰And Isaiah is very bold and says,

“I was found by those who did not seek Me,

I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.”
