    15And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written,“How timely is the arrival of those who proclaim the good news.”

    16But not all have obeyed the good news, for Isaiah says,“Lord, who has believed our report?”

    17Consequently faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the preached word of Christ.

    6But the righteousness that is by faith says:“Do not say in your heart,‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”(that is, to bring Christ down)

    7or“Who will descend into the abyss?”(that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

    8But 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),

    9because 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.

    10For with the heart one believes and thus has righteousness and with the mouth one confesses and thus has salvation.
