11 Scripture says, "The one who trusts in him will never be put to shame." (Isaiah 28:16)
12 There is no difference between those who are Jews and those who are not. The same Lord is Lord of all. He richly blesses everyone who calls on him.
13 Scripture says, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Joel 2:32)
14 How can they call on him unless they believe in him? How can they believe in him unless they hear about him? How can they hear about him unless someone preaches to them?
15 And how can anyone preach without being sent? It is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" (Isaiah 52:7)
16 But not all the people of Israel accepted the good news. Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our message?" (Isaiah 53:1)
17 So faith comes from hearing the message. And the message that is heard is the word of Christ.
