^14:24 But if an unbeliever or uninstructed person comes in while everyone is prophesying, he will be convicted and called to account by all, ^14:25 and the secrets of his heart will be made known. So he will fall facedown and worship God, proclaiming, "God is truly among you!"

So they brought the king word again.

^34:18 Moreover, Shaphan the scribe told the king, "Hilkiah the priest has given me a book." And Shaphan read it in the presence of the king. ^34:19 When the king heard the words of the Law, he tore his clothes ^34:26 But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'As for the words that you heard, ^34:27 because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its people, and because you have humbled yourself before Me and you have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I have heard you,' declares the LORD. ^34:28 'Now I will indeed gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace.

^8:27 So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official in charge of the entire treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians.

^10:4 The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world.

Romans 10:13–17

^10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ^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? ^10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! ^10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? ^10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

^10:13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." ^10:14 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? ^10:15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" ^10:16 But not all of them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our message?" ^10:17 Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
