13
For, "every one who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved."
14
But how are men to call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?
15
And how can men preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news!"
16
But they have not all obeyed the gospel; for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?"
17
So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching of Christ.
