Romans 10:17-19

Good News Translation

¹⁷So then, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message comes through preaching Christ.

¹⁸^(A)But I ask: Is it true that they did not hear the message? Of course they did—for as the scripture says:

“The sound of their voice went out to all the world;
    their words reached the ends of the earth.”
¹⁹^(B)Again I ask: Did the people of Israel not understand? Moses himself is the first one to answer:
“I will use a so-called nation
    to make my people jealous;
and by means of a nation of fools
    I will make my people angry.”
