Romans 10:14-21

14But how will people call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher (messenger)?

15And how will they preach unless they are commissioned and sent [for that purpose]? Just as it is written and forever remains written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!”

16But they did not all pay attention to the good news [of salvation]; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”

17So faith comes from hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the [preaching of the] message concerning Christ.

18But I say, did they not hear? Indeed they have; “Their voice [that of creation bearing God’s message] has gone out to all the earth, And their words to the [farthest] ends of the world.”

19But I say, did Israel fail to understand [that the gospel was to go also to the Gentiles]? First Moses says, “I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation (Gentiles); With a nation that lacks understanding I will make you angry.”

20Then Isaiah is very bold and says, “I have been found by those who did not seek Me; I have shown Myself to those who did not [consciously] ask for Me.”

21But of Israel he says, “All day long I have stretched out My hands [in compassion] to a disobedient and obstinate people.”
