Romans 10:15-17
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
15 And how may they proclaim if they are not sent-forth?— just as it has been written[a] [in Isa 52:7]: “How beautiful are the feet of the ones announcing-good-news-of good things!” 16 But[b] they did not all obey the good-news, for Isaiah says [in Isa 53:1], “Lord, who put-faith-in our report?” 17 So[c] the faith[d] comes from a report-hearing[e], and the report-hearing through a word[f] about[g] Christ.

- Romans 10:15 Paul quotes Isaiah to prove that God has done His part. He sent forth messengers and they have proclaimed the message.
- Romans 10:16 Isaiah predicted this rejection by Israel as well, further proof of Israel’s ignorance.
- Romans 10:17 Paul summarizes the process he has deduced from Scripture. Faith in the hearer comes in response to a report about Christ, and this report comes through a message proclaimed by one sent.
- Romans 10:17 That is, the faith to call upon the Lord and be saved.
- Romans 10:17 This word means both hearing (the act of hearing) and report (the message heard). It is the same word as ‘report’ in v 16, and is related to ‘hear’ in v 18, and is rendered this way to show the connection to both. An obedient-hearing is in view here.
- Romans 10:17 Or, message. That is, the word of faith (v 8); the report (v 16); the proclamation (v 15).
- Romans 10:17 Or, from, through the word of His messengers.
