9 not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but instead blessing; because to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.
1 "I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me. I was near to those who did not seek me. I said, 'Here I am! Here I am!' to a nation that did not call on my name.
21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
9 who 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 times eternal,
14 to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;
16 because it is written, "You shall be holy; for I am holy."
16 You did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
28 and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling;
24 He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
