Roma 10:15-16

10:15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How timely ¹  is the arrival ²  of those who proclaim the good news.” ³  10:16 But not all have obeyed the good news, for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” ⁴ 

[10:15]  ¹ tn The word in this context seems to mean “coming at the right or opportune time” (see BDAG 1103 s.v. ὡραῖος 1); it may also mean “beautiful, attractive, welcome.”

[10:15]  ² tn Grk “the feet.” The metaphorical nuance of “beautiful feet” is that such represent timely news.

[10:15]  ³ sn A quotation from Isa 52:7; Nah 1:15.

[10:16]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Isa 53:1.
