17So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.


In Context

14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?

15 And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: |How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!|

16 But they didn't all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, |Lord, who has believed our report?|

17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

18 But I say, didn't they hear? Yes, most certainly, |Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.|

19 But I ask, didn't Israel know? First Moses says, |I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, with a nation void of understanding I will make you angry.|
