14 But how can they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?
15 And how can people preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring [the] good news!”
16 But not everyone has heeded the good news; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what was heard from us?”
17 Thus faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ.
18 But I ask, did they not hear? Certainly they did; for“Their voice has gone forth to all the earth,and their words to the ends of the world.”
19 But I ask, did not Israel understand? First Moses says:“I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation;with a senseless nation I will make you angry.”
20 Then Isaiah speaks boldly and says:“I was found [by] those who were not seeking me;I revealed myself to those who were not asking for me.”
