Romans 10:18

Verse 18

18. Have they not heard That they have heard, St. Paul maintains by a quotation of a passage from Psalms 19:0. Their words refers to the words of the heavens, the firmament, etc., declaring the glory of God: “There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.” And then come the words quoted. The they of whom the apostle asks whether they have not heard must be the Gentiles. And what they have heard is nature’s voice preaching unto them. As they have a law written on their hearts, so they have a gospel in the teachings of nature by which to be saved. (Notes on Romans 2:14-15.) That this refers to the Gentiles is plain from the fact that Israel’s case is taken up in the following verses.
