κλῆσις

For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
