Romans 10:11-20

¹¹Because the Scripture says: “Everyone who believes on Him will never be put to shame”;

¹²because there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, since the same Lord of all is rich to all who call upon Him;

¹³because: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

¹⁴How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe on Him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone proclaiming it?

¹⁵And how will they proclaim unless they are sent? As it is written: “How timely is the arrival of those who bring good news of peace, of those who announce the good things.”

¹⁶(However, they did not all obey the gospel; because Isaiah says: “Lord, who has believed our message?”)

¹⁷So, the faith is from a message, and that message is by the Word of God.

¹⁸But I say, did they really not hear? Indeed yes: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their spoken words to the ends of the inhabited world.”

¹⁹Again I say, did Israel really not know? First Moses says: “I will provoke you to jealousy by a non-nation, I will move you to anger by a senseless nation.”

²⁰But Isaiah is so bold as to say: “I was found by those who were not seeking me; I was revealed to those who were not asking for me.”
