Consequently faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the preached word of Christ.

But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we preach),

because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

But I ask, have they not heard? Yes, they have: Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
