¹⁴ How then are they to call on Him in whom they have not believed? How are they to believe in Him ^(A)whom they have not heard? And how are they to hear without ^(B)a preacher? ¹⁵ But how are they to preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written: “^(C)How beautiful are the feet of those who ^[a](D)bring good news of good things!”

¹⁶ However, they ^(E)did not all heed the ^[b]good news; for Isaiah says, “^(F)Lord, who has believed our report?” ¹⁷ So faith comes from ^(G)hearing, and hearing by ^(H)the word ^[c]of Christ.

¹⁶ For I am not ^(A)ashamed of the gospel, for ^(B)it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the ^(C)Jew first and also to ^(D)the Greek. ¹⁷ For in it ^(E)the righteousness of God is revealed ^[a]from faith to faith; as it is written: “^[b](F)But the righteous one will live by faith.”
