Romans 10:15

Witness and missionJoy

13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

14 How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?

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.
