God is said to call those who are not yet born, viz. by promises of salvation which have respect to them, so that καλεῖν is for substance equivalent to to appoint one to salvation, Romans 9:12 (11); καλοῦντος τά μή ὄντα ὡς ὄντα, Romans 4:17, where cf. Fritzsche (others besides, cf. Meyer (especially Weiss edition) at the passage). to call (equivalent to to select) to assume some office, τινα, of God appointing or committing an office to one (German berufen): Galatians 1:15; Hebrews 5:4 (Isaiah 42:6; Isaiah 49:1; Isaiah 51:2). to invite equivalent to to rouse, summon: to do something, εἰς μετάνοιαν, Luke 5:32, added in Rec. also in Matthew 9:13 and Mark 2:17. 2. to call i. e. to name, call by name; a. to give a name to; with two accusatives, one of the object the other of the name as a predicate (to call one (by) a name: Matthew 10:25 Rec.; cf. Winers Grammar, § 32, 4 b.; Buttmann, 151 (132) note); passive with the nominative of the name, to receive the name of, receive as a name: Matthew 2:23; Matthew 27:8; Luke 1:32, 60, 62; Luke 2:4, etc.; καλούμενος, called, whose name or surname is, Luke 7:11; Luke 9:10; Luke 10:39; Acts 7:58; Acts 27:8, 16; ὁ καλούμενος (on its position cf. Buttmann, § 144, 19): Luke 6:15; Luke 8:2; (Luke 22:3 T Tr WH); b. Passive καλοῦμαι with predicate nominative to be called i. e. to bear a name or title (among men) (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 65, 8): Luke 1:35; Luke 22:25; Acts 8:10 (Rec. omits καλοῦμαι); 1 Corinthians 15:9; to be said to be (equivalent to to be acknowledged, pass as, the nominative expressing the judgment passed on one): Matthew 5:9, 19; Luke 1:32, 35, 76; Luke 2:23; Luke 15:19; Romans 9:26; James 2:23; opposed to εἶναι, 1 John 3:1 L T Tr WH; Hebraistically (Genesis 21:12) ἐν Ἰσαάκ κληθήσεται σοι σπέρμα, through (better in, cf. ἐν, I. 6 c. and Meyer (edited by Weiss) ad Romans, the passage cited) Isaac shall a seed be called for thee, i. e. Isaac (not Ishmael) is the one whose posterity shall obtain the name and honor of thy descendants, Romans 9:7 and Hebrews 11:18. c. καλῷ τινα, with an accusative of the predicate or a title of honor, to salute one by a name: Matthew 23:9; passive, Matthew 23:7f, 10; Revelation 19:11 (but Tr marginal reading WH brackets καλῷ); to give a name to one and mention him at the same time, Matthew 22:43, 45; Luke 20:44. (Compare: ἀντικαλέω, ἐνκαλέω, εἰσκαλέω (καλέομαι), ἐπικαλέω, μετακαλέω, παρακαλέω, συνπαρακαλέω, προκαλέω, προσκαλέω, συγκαλέω.) Akin to the base of keleuo; to "call" (properly, aloud, but used in a variety of applications, directly or otherwise) -- bid, call (forth), (whose, whose sur-)name (was (called)). see GREEK keleuo Englishman's Concordance Matthew 1:21 V-FIA-2SGRK: υἱὸν καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα NAS: a Son; and you shall call His name KJV: a son, and thou shalt call his name INT: a son and you will call the name Matthew 1:23 V-FIA-3P Matthew 1:25 V-AIA-3S Matthew 2:7 V-APA-NMS Matthew 2:15 V-AIA-1S Matthew 2:23 V-FIP-3S Matthew 4:21 V-AIA-3S Matthew 5:9 V-FIP-3P Matthew 5:19 V-FIP-3S Matthew 5:19 V-FIP-3S Matthew 9:13 V-ANA Matthew 20:8 V-AMA-2S Matthew 21:13 V-FIP-3S Matthew 22:3 V-ANA Matthew 22:3 V-RPM/P-AMP Matthew 22:4 V-RPM/P-DMP Matthew 22:8 V-RPM/P-NMP Matthew 22:9 V-AMA-2P Matthew 22:43 V-PIA-3S Matthew 22:45 V-PIA-3S Matthew 23:7 V-PNM/P Matthew 23:8 V-ASP-2P Matthew 23:9 V-ASA-2P Matthew 23:10 V-ASP-2P Matthew 25:14 V-AIA-3S Strong's Greek 2564 |
