Romans 10:14

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

How {G4459} then {G3767} shall they call on {G1941} him in {G1519} whom {G3739} they have {G4100} not {G3756} believed {G4100}? and {G1161} how {G4459} shall they believe in {G4100} him of whom {G3739} they have {G191} not {G3756} heard {G191}? and {G1161} how {G4459} shall they hear {G191} without {G5565} a preacher {G2784}?

But how can they call on someone if they haven’t trusted in him? And how can they trust in someone if they haven’t heard about him? And how can they hear about someone if no one is proclaiming him?

How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
