Romans 1:6

Romans 1:6 [AV]
Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

ANNOTATED NOTES:

called = kletos: called, summoned, invited (as to a banquet); in the context, v7 will add that we are “called saints”, so it’s not just that we were called, we answered the call, the invitation, by believing rightly regarding Jesus Christ; later in 8:28 it states we are "the called according to his purpose”, and 8:30 further declares “whom he called, them he also justified; and whom he justified, them he also glorified”; Romans makes it clear that, having answered the call, believing rightly concerning Jesus Christ has extremely broad benefits, both immediate and eternal

of Jesus Christ: genitive case, putting the emphasis on Jesus Christ, not on us who were called. Could read “called to be Jesus Christ’s”, or “called to belong to Jesus Christ.” We belong to him, and he is not ashamed to call us brethren (Heb 2:11; Rom 8:29).
