Rom. 10:16      Rom. 10:18

Romans 10:17

Therefore (as a conclusion to this):
Faith (trust, confidence) comes from what one hears (Gk. akoe), [and] what one hears [the proclamation, the account, the sermon] comes through the words (Gk. rhema – singular) [see verse 14].
[Akoe refers physically to hearing, but also to truly listening to what is said, see Matt. 13:13. In the Bible, this is deeply connected with responding and obeying, see Rom. 2:13; 10:16. In this letter, Paul clarifies Israel's calling and also highlights the salvation offered to the Gentiles through the Jewish people in Jesus, see chapters 9-11. In Israel's creed Shema Yisrael ("Hear, Israel"), there is the same connection to listening and obeying the content itself by responding, see Deut. 6:4–9; Mark 12:29.
In Greek, there are two words, logos and rhema, both of which are translated as "word." Logos comes from the verb lego – "to speak/summarize"; a word, a thought, a line of reasoning, a message, etc., and is also used to refer to God's blueprint and teaching about everything. The word – Logos – is also the Son personified, see John 1:1. Rhema comes from the verb rheo – "to speak" and can be explained as God's proclaimed word, promise, message, etc. – directed and brought to life by the Spirit for the believer in order to create a firm conviction.]
