8 But what does it say? h“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that iif you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, j“Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For kthere is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for lthe same Lord over all mis rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For n“whoever calls oon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Israel Rejects the Gospel

14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear pwithout a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:

q“How beautiful are the feet of those who 2preach the gospel of peace,

Who bring glad tidings of good things!”

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, r“Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
