'Called' in the Bible

but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

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

not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing; knowing that to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.

But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
