Context: Romans 10
14How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

Paul teaches that faith in Jesus is necessary for salvation, and that people can confess Jesus as Lord with their mouth.
Commentary
Romans 10 is a chapter that speaks to the importance of faith in the salvation of mankind. Paul begins by expressing his deep desire for the salvation of his fellow Jews, who he believes have not yet accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ. He laments that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. He then goes on to explain that faith is the only way to be saved, and that it is not something that can be earned or achieved through works. He also explains that the gospel must be preached to all nations in order for them to be saved.
