^{14 Ref} How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?

^{15 Ref} And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!"

^{16 Ref} But they didn't all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

^{17 Ref} So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

^{18 Ref} But I say, didn't they hear? Yes, most assuredly, "Their sound went out into all the earth, Their words to the ends of the world."

^{14 Ref} How then shall they call upon `him' in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe `on him' of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching?

^{15 Ref} and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent? according as it hath been written, `How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!'

^{16 Ref} But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, `Lord, who did give credence to our report?'

^{17 Ref} so then the faith `is' by a report, and the report through a saying of God,

^{18 Ref} but I say, Did they not hear? yes, indeed -- `to all the earth their voice went forth, and to the ends of the habitable world their sayings.'
