Romans 10:13-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”(A)
14 [a]But how 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 someone to preach?(B) 15 And how can people preach unless they are sent? As it is written,(C) “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring [the] good news!”[b]

- 10:14–21 The gospel has been sufficiently proclaimed to Israel, and Israel has adequately understood God’s plan for the messianic age, which would see the gospel brought to the uttermost parts of the earth. As often in the past, Israel has not accepted the prophetic message; cf. Acts 7:51–53.
- 10:15 How beautiful are the feet of those who bring [the] good news: in Semitic fashion, the parts of the body that bring the messenger with welcome news are praised; cf. Lk 11:27.
