This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Did they not hear? (μὴ οὐκ ἤκουσαν)
A negative answer is implied by the interrogative particle. “Surely it is not true that they did not hear.”
Sound (φθόγγος)
Only here and 1Co 14:7, on which see note. Paul uses the Septuagint translation of Psa 19:4, where the Hebrew line or plummet-line (others musical chord) is rendered sound. The voice of the gospel message is like that of the starry sky proclaiming God's glory to all the earth. The Septuagint sound seems to be a free rendering in order to secure parallelism with words.
Of the world (τῆς οἰκουμένης)
See on Luk 2:1; see on Joh 1:9.
