Romans 10:13-14
Romans 10:11-17 The Message (MSG)
Scripture reassures us, “No one who trusts God like this—heart and soul—will ever regret it.” It’s exactly the same no matter what a person’s religious background may be: the same God for all of us, acting the same incredibly generous way to everyone who calls out for help. “Everyone who calls, ‘Help, God!’ gets help.” But how can people call for help if they don’t know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven’t heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them? And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it? That’s why Scripture exclaims
Romans 10:13-14 King James Version (KJV)

Romans 10:13-14 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

Romans 10:13-14 New Century Version (NCV)
as the Scripture says, “Anyone who calls on the Lord will be saved.” But before people can ask the Lord for help, they must believe in him; and before they can believe in him, they must hear about him; and for them to hear about the Lord, someone must tell them
Romans 10:13-14 American Standard Version (ASV)

Romans 10:13-14 New International Version (Anglicised) (NIVUK)

Romans 10:13-14 New Living Translation (NLT)

Romans 10:13-14 The Passion Translation (TPT)
And it’s true: “Everyone who calls on the Lord’s name will experience new life.” But how can people call on him for help if they’ve not yet believed? And how can they believe in one they’ve not yet heard of? And how can they hear the message of life if there is no one there to proclaim it?
