Romans 10:14-21 - Israel's Rejection Of The Message
14 How then shall thy call upon Him in whom they do not believe? And how are they to believe in One of whom they have never heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how can men preach unless they are sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring a glad gospel. 16 And yet they did not all hearken to the good news; for Isaiah said, Lord, who hath believed our message? 17 So faith comes from a message heard, and the message comes from the teaching of Christ. 18 But I ask, Did they fail to hear? Yes, truly, Their sound has gone out unto all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world.
19 But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses says. I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation; Against a Gentile nation, void of understanding, will I anger you.
20 But Isaiah speaks very boldly, I was found of those who were not seeking me, I was made manifest to those who were not asking for me.
21 But to Israel he says, All day long I have been spreading out my hands unto a disobedient and contrary people.
