Common English Bible CEB
New International Version NIV
13 All who call on the Lord's name will be saved.
13
for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 So how can they call on someone they don't have faith in? And how can they have faith in someone they haven't heard of? And how can they hear without a preacher?
14
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who announce the good news.
15
And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
16 But everyone hasn't obeyed the good news. As Isaiah says, Lord, who has had faith in our message?
16
But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”
17 So, faith comes from listening, but it's listening by means of Christ's message.
17
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
18 But I ask you, didn't they hear it? Definitely! Their voice has gone out into the entire earth, and their message has gone out to the corners of the inhabited world.
18
But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
19 But I ask you again, didn't Israel understand? First, Moses says, I will make you jealous of those who aren't a people, of a people without understanding.
19
Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says, “I will make you envious by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”
20 And Isaiah even dares to say, I was found by those who didn't look for me; I revealed myself to those who didn't ask for me.
20
And Isaiah boldly says, “I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.”
21 But he says about Israel, All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.
21
But concerning Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”
