5 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “called” →
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you .
