Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. A poor man being on his death-bed, asked that the fifty-fifth chapter of Isaiah should be read to him. Though weak and faint, and full of pain, yet when he heard the words, "Incline your ear and come unto Me; hear, and your soul shall live," he gathered up his strength to say, "What a mercy, sir, that it is not ' Read, and your soul shall live,' for if it had been I could not have been saved, for you know I am no scholar. But, blessed be God, it is 'Hear, and your soul shall live.' I have heard and believed, and trust I shall be saved."
