^{12 Ref} For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.

^{13 Ref} For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."

^{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?"
