A 1: καλέω ►
(Strong's #2564 Verb kaleo kal-eh'-o )
derived from the root kal---, whence Eng. "call" and "clamor" (see B and C, below), is used (a) with a personal object, "to call anyone, invite, summon," e.g., Matthew 20:8; 25:14; it is used particularly of the Divine call to partake of the blessings of redemption, e.g., Romans 8:30; 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Thessalonians 2:12; Hebrews 9:15; cp. B and C, below; (b) of nomenclature or vocation, "to call by a name, to name;" in the Passive Voice, "to be called by a name, to bear a name." Thus it suggests either vocation or destination; the context determines which, e.g., Romans 9:25-26; "surname," in Acts 15:37 , AV, is incorrect (RV, "was called"). See BID , NAME.
