Romans 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias said, Lord, who has believed our report? A minister with a large congregation came home one day in great trouble and told his wife that he was almost out of heart, and felt very much like resigning his place and giving up his work. "And what makes you feel that way?" responded his wife. "Well," said the minister, "everything seems to be going wrong. It is so difficult to keep people interested in religion, and so many seem to be almost wholly indifferent." "So you would like to have everybody and everything just right, would you? " said his wife. "That is it." "Very well," continued the wife, "then you could resign; then your work would not be needed. But as things are you should hold firmly your place, for the reason you have given is just why you should work on." Parallel Verses KJV: But they have not all obeyed the gospel.
