## Romans 10:17 in Context (Verses 14–20 KJV)
 
 [14 ](/kjv/romans/10/14) 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 without a preacher?
 
 [15 ](/kjv/romans/10/15) And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
 
 [16 ](/kjv/romans/10/16) But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
 
 [17 ](/kjv/romans/10/17) So then faith *cometh* by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/romans/10/18) But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/romans/10/19) But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by *them that are* no people, *and* by a foolish nation I will anger you.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/romans/10/20) But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
