But. say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily, Their sound went out into all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world.

'Did they not hear? -'To the grumpy Jew who would claim: "This is the first I've heard of it. We weren't prepared for this:" Paul will reply: "You were told! You just didn't hear."' (McGuiggan p. 314)

'Their sound..' -(Psalms 19:4) 'As clearly and as universally as the creation speaks of God so the Old Testament told about what I'm now teaching, Paul claims. It was the Scriptures which first told of the gospel (Romans 1:2). It was from that source that Paul got righteousness by faith (Romans 3:21,Romans 4:3 and other places).' (McGuiggan p. 314)
