Calling

I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:

That no flesh should glory in his presence.

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.

Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Who hath 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 us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

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.

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

For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
