Romans 10:17

Read in context

Romans 10:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

16 But not all of them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”

17 Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

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

19 I ask instead, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says: “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation without understanding.”
