15 But as the one who called you  * is holy,  * you also are to be holy in all your conduct; 16 for it is written, Be holy, because I am holy.*,*

21 For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered  * for you, leaving you an example,  * that you should follow  * in his steps.

9 not paying back evil for evil  * or insult for insult but, on the contrary, giving a blessing,  * since you were called for this, so that you may inherit a blessing.

9 He has saved us and called us with a holy calling,  * not according to our works,  * but according to his own purpose  * and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.

24 He who calls  * you  * is faithful; he will do it.

4 There is one body and one Spirit  *  — just as you were called to one hope  *,* at your calling — 

14 I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly  * call in Christ Jesus.  *

9 God is faithful;  * you were called by him  * into fellowship with his Son,  * Jesus Christ our Lord.

28 God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world  *  — what is viewed as nothing — to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, 29 so that no one  * may boast in his presence.  *

28 We know that all things work together  * for the good  * of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.  *

14 He called you to this through our gospel, so that you might obtain the glory  * of our Lord Jesus Christ.

38 Peter replied, "Repent  * and be baptized,  * each of you, in the name  * of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

16 You did not choose me, but I chose you.*I appointed you to go and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask*the Father in my name,*he will give you.*

1 "I was sought by those who did not ask;

I was found by those who did not seek me.

I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’

to a nation that did not call on  *  my name.  *
