ACC ~ Romans 10 v17

SOMETHING MUST BE SAID. AMBROSIASTER: It is obvious that unless something is said, it can neither be heard nor believed. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

FAITH COMES BY HEARING. CHRYSOSTOM: The Jews were forever seeking a sign … but Isaiah promised them no such thing. Rather, it was by hearing that they were to believe. HOMILIES ON ROMANS 18.

PELAGIUS: From here on we have the apostle’s reply to the above questions. PELAGIUS’S COMMENTARY ON ROMANS.

THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA: It is perfectly clear to us, says Paul, following the voice of the prophet and what we have said, that there can be no faith without teaching, and the teaching of godliness is impossible unless it shows the truth about God. PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH.

JOHN OF DAMASCUS: Faith comes by hearing, because when we hear the holy Scriptures we believe in the teaching of the Holy Spirit. This faith is made perfect by all the things which Christ has ordained; it believes truly, it is devout and it keeps the commandments of him who has renewed us. For he who does not believe in accordance with the traditions of the catholic church or who through untoward works holds communion with the devil is without faith. ORTHODOX FAITH 4.10.
