CHURCH EPHESIANS 4Ephesians 4:7-8, 11

But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. 8 Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.” 11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teacher

Romans 10:14-15 But how are they to call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”

(ἀκουω) means “to hear.” Akoē (Ἀκοη), the noun means “the thing heard.” The word “hearing” is akoē (ἀκοη), the same word translated “report” (A.V.). Paul says, “So then, faith is out of the source of that which is heard.” It is the publication of the gospel which produces belief in it (Alford). Romans 10:16-17

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
