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

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

Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course not! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ.

I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ.

Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.

Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn’t think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God— which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe.

For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes— the Jew first and also the Gentile.

Then he added,“ Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given— and you will receive even more.

Jesus replied,“ But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.”

Jesus replied,“ My mother and my brothers are all those who hear God’s word and obey it.”

As for us, we can’t help but thank God for you, dear brothers and sisters loved by the Lord. We are always thankful that God chose you to be among the first to experience salvation— a salvation that came through the Spirit who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth.He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.

“ This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is God’s word.

You see, we are not like the many hucksters who preach for personal profit. We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Christ’s authority, knowing that God is watching us.

The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.As the Scriptures say,“ I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.”So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish.Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe.It is foolish to the Jews, who ask for signs from heaven. And it is foolish to the Greeks, who seek human wisdom.So when we preach that Christ was crucified, the Jews are offended and the Gentiles say it’s all nonsense.But to those called by God to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

“ Let these false prophets tell their dreams, but let my true messengers faithfully proclaim my every word. There is a difference between straw and grain!Does not my word burn like fire?” says the Lord.“ Is it not like a mighty hammer that smashes a rock to pieces?

But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?

“ But Abraham said,‘ Moses and the prophets have warned them. Your brothers can read what they wrote.’“ The rich man replied,‘ No, Father Abraham! But if someone is sent to them from the dead, then they will repent of their sins and turn to God.’“ But Abraham said,‘ If they won’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they won’t be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”

I, John, am your brother and your partner in suffering and in God’s Kingdom and in the patient endurance to which Jesus calls us. I was exiled to the island of Patmos for preaching the word of God and for my testimony about Jesus.

For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.As the Scriptures say,“ People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades.But the word of the Lord remains forever.” And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.So get rid of all evil behavior. Be done with all deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy, and all unkind speech.Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment,

For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all of God’s people,which come from your confident hope of what God has reserved for you in heaven. You have had this expectation ever since you first heard the truth of the Good News.This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.
