Romans 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 

Isa 40:9; Isa 52:7; Isa 57:19; Isa 61:1; Jer 23:32; Na 1:15; Mt 9:38; Mt 10:1-6; Mt 28:18-20; Lu 2:10; Lu 2:14; Lu 8:1; Lu 10:1; Joh 20:21; Ac 9:15; Ac 10:36; Ac 13:2-4; Ac 13:26; Ac 22:21; 1Co 12:28,29; 2Co 5:18-20; Eph 2:17; Eph 3:8; Eph 4:11,12; Eph 6:15; 1Pe 1:12

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.”

² tn Grk “the feet.” The metaphorical nuance of “beautiful feet” is that such represent timely news.
