Romans 10:15-21

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.”

²¹But concerning Israel he says: “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
