| 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. | And Isaiah boldly says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.” | And Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I became manifest unto them that asked not of me. |

AI-assisted, sourcedRomans 10:14-21Faith cometh by hearing
About Romans 10Paul prays for Israel "that they might be saved," for they "have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge," seeking their own righteousness, but "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved," for "there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek," and "whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." But they cannot call without hearing, nor hear "without a preacher," so "faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God," and God says of Israel, "All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people."
