So faith comes from hearing the message. And the message that is heard is the message about Christ.

可见，信道是从听道来的，听道是从基督的话来的。

可见，信道是从听道来的，听道是从基督的话来的。

可见，信道是从听道来的，听道是从基督的话来的。

由此可见，听了道，才会信道；有了基督的话，才有道可听。

可见信心是从所听的道来的，所听的道是藉着基督的话来的。

因此，信是由听而来，听是藉着基督的话而来。

可見，信道是從聽道來的，聽道是從基督的話來的。

可見，信道是從聽道來的，聽道是從基督的話來的。

可見，信道是從聽道來的，聽道是從基督的話來的。

由此可見，聽了道，才會信道；有了基督的話，才有道可聽。

可見信心是從所聽的道來的，所聽的道是藉著基督的話來的。

可見信是由於聽，聽是憑着基督的話語。

因此，信是由聽而來，聽是藉著基督的話而來。

是信由於聞、而聞由於基督之道也、

曰、如是言之、信由傳聞而至、傳聞由上帝道而來、

由是觀之、信由聞而來、聞由天主之道而來、

是故吾人之信德、起於所聞；所聞者何、即基督之福音是已。

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.

So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ.

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

So belief cometh of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ.

So then faith[ cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

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

So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

I would like to learn just one thing from you. Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law? Or did you receive the Spirit by believing what you heard?

So I ask you again, how does God give you his Spirit? How does he work miracles among you? Is it by doing what the law says? Or is it by believing what you have heard?

Let the message about Christ live among you like a rich treasure. Teach and correct one another wisely. Teach one another by singing psalms and hymns and songs from the Spirit. Sing to God with thanks in your hearts.

We never stop thanking God for the way you received his word. You heard it from us. But you didn’t accept it as a human word. You accepted it for what it really is. It is God’s word. It is really at work in you who believe.

I want to preach it because I’m not ashamed of the good news. It is God’s power to save everyone who believes. It is meant first for the Jews. It is meant also for the Gentiles.

“ Think carefully about what you hear,” he said.“ As you give, so you will receive. In fact, you will receive even more.

He replied,“ Instead, blessed are those who hear God’s word and obey it.”

He replied,“ My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and do what it says.”

Brothers and sisters, we should always thank God for you. The Lord loves you. That’s because God chose you as the first to be saved. Salvation comes through the Holy Spirit’s work. He makes people holy. It also comes through believing the truth.He chose you to be saved by accepting the good news that we preach. And you will share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God chose to give us new birth through the message of truth. He wanted us to be the first harvest of his new creation.My dear brothers and sisters, pay attention to what I say. Everyone should be quick to listen. But they should be slow to speak. They should be slow to get angry.Human anger doesn’t produce the holy life God wants.So get rid of everything that is sinful. Get rid of the evil that is all around us. Don’t be too proud to accept the word that is planted in you. It can save you.

The word of God is alive and active. It is sharper than any sword that has two edges. It cuts deep enough to separate soul from spirit. It can separate bones from joints. It judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart.Nothing God created is hidden from him. His eyes see everything. He will hold us responsible for everything we do.

“ Here is what the story means. The seed is God’s message.

Unlike many people, we aren’t selling God’s word to make money. In fact, it is just the opposite. Because of Christ we speak honestly before God. We speak like people God has sent.

The message of the cross seems foolish to those who are lost and dying. But it is God’s power to us who are being saved.It is written,“ I will destroy the wisdom of those who are wise. I will do away with the cleverness of those who think they are so smart.”( Isaiah 29:14)Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where are the great thinkers of our time? Hasn’t God made the wisdom of the world foolish?God wisely planned that the world would not know him through its own wisdom. It pleased God to use the foolish things we preach to save those who believe.Jews require signs. Greeks look for wisdom.But we preach about Christ and his death on the cross. That is very hard for Jews to accept. And everyone else thinks it’s foolish.But there are those God has chosen, both Jews and Greeks. To them Christ is God’s power and God’s wisdom.

Let the prophet who has a dream describe the dream. But let the one who has my message speak it faithfully. Your prophets have given you straw to eat instead of grain,” announces the Lord.“ My message is like fire,” announces the Lord.“ It is like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces.

How can they call on him unless they believe in him? How can they believe in him unless they hear about him? How can they hear about him unless someone preaches to them?

“ Abraham replied,‘ They have the teachings of Moses and the Prophets. Let your brothers listen to them.’“‘ No, father Abraham,’ he said.‘ But if someone from the dead goes to them, they will turn away from their sins.’“ Abraham said to him,‘ They do not listen to Moses and the Prophets. So they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”

I, John, am a believer like you. I am a friend who suffers like you. As members of Jesus’ royal family, we can put up with anything that happens to us. I was on the island of Patmos because I taught God’s word and what Jesus said.

You have been born again by means of the living word of God. His word lasts forever. You were not born again from a seed that will die. You were born from a seed that can’t die.It is written,“ All people are like grass. All their glory is like the flowers in the field. The grass dries up. The flowers fall to the ground.But the word of the Lord lasts forever.”( Isaiah 40:6–8) And this is the word that was preached to you.So get rid of every kind of evil, and stop telling lies. Don’t pretend to be something you are not. Stop wanting what others have, and don’t speak against one another.Like newborn babies, you should long for the pure milk of God’s word. It will help you grow up as believers.

We thank him because we have heard about your faith in Christ Jesus. We have also heard that you love all God’s people.Your faith and love are based on the hope you have. What you hope for is stored up for you in heaven. You have already heard about it. You were told about it when the true message was given to you. I’m talking about the good newsthat has come to you. In the same way, the good news is bearing fruit. It is bearing fruit and growing all over the world. It has been doing that among you since the day you heard it. That is when you really understood God’s grace.
