But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,

but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, to us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

just as it is written: "BEHOLD, I AM LAYING IN ZION A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE, AND THE ONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME."

For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME."

How then are they to call on Him in whom they have not believed? How are they to believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?

Again Isaiah says, "THERE SHALL COME THE ROOT OF JESSE, AND HE WHO ARISES TO RULE OVER THE GENTILES, IN HIM WILL THE GENTILES HOPE."
