15And how will there be preachers if they are not sent? As it is said, How beautiful are the feet of those who give the glad news of good things.
16But they have not all given ear to the good news. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has had faith in our word?
17So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
18But I say, Did not the word come to their ears? Yes, certainly: Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
19But I say, Had Israel no knowledge? First Moses says, You will be moved to envy by that which is not a nation, and by a foolish people I will make you angry.
20And Isaiah says without fear, Those who were not searching for me made discovery of me; and I was seen by those whose hearts were turned away from me.
21But about Israel he says; All the day my hands have been stretched out to a people whose hearts were turned away, and who put themselves against my word.
