Romans 10:17-19

J.B. Phillips New Testament

¹⁷ (Belief you see, can only come from hearing the message, and the message is the word of Christ.)

¹⁸ But when I ask myself: “Did they never hear?” I have to answer that they have heard, for ‘Their sound has gone out to all the earth, and their word to the ends of the world’.

¹⁹ Then I say to myself: “Did Israel not know?” And my answer must be that they did. For Moses says: ‘I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation. I will anger you by a foolish nation’.
