Romans 10:15-21

¹⁵And how is anyone to proclaim him unless they are sent as his messengers? As scripture says — ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’

¹⁶Still, it may be said, everyone did not give heed to the good news. No, for Isaiah asks — ‘Lord, who has believed our teaching?’

¹⁷And so we gather, faith is a result of teaching, and the teaching comes in the message of Christ.

¹⁸But I ask ‘Is it possible that people have never heard?’ No, indeed, for — ‘Their voices spread through all the earth, and their message to the ends of the world.’

¹⁹But again I ask ‘Did not the people of Israel understand?’ First there is Moses, who says — ‘I, the Lord, will stir you to rivalry with a nation which is no nation; Against an undiscerning nation I will arouse your anger.’

²⁰And Isaiah says boldly — ‘I was found by those who were not seeking me; I made myself known to those who were not inquiring of me.’

²¹But of the people of Israel he says — ‘All day long I have stretched out my hands to a people who disobey and contradict.’
