12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches on all who call upon him.

13 For, »everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.«

14 How then can they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without a preacher?

15 And how can they 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 our message?«

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