κλητός — klētós
κλητός, κλητή, κλητον (κλαέω) (from Homer down), called, invited (to a banquet (1Ki 1:41; 1Ki 1:49); 3Ma 5:14; Aeschines 50, 1); in the N. T.
a. "invited (by God in the proclamation of the gospel) to obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom of God through Christ" (see καλέω, 1 b. β'. (cf. Winer's Grammar, 35 (34))): Rom 8:28; 1Co 1:24; Jud 1:1; κλητοί καί ἐκλεκτοί καί πιστοί, Rev 17:14; κλητοί and ἐκλεκτοί are distinguished (see ἐκλεκτός, 1 a.) in Mat 20:16 (T WH omit; Tr brackets the clause); Mat 22:14, a distinction which does not agree with Paul's view (see καλέω, as above; (Weiss, Biblical Theol. § 88; Lightfoot's Commentary on Col 3:12)); κλητοί Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, genitive of possessor (Winers Grammar, 195 (183); Buttmann, § 132, 23), devoted to Christ and united to him, Rom 1:6; κλητοί ἅγιοι, "holy (or 'saints') by the calling of God," Rom 1:7; 1Co 1:2.
b. called to (the discharge of) some office: κλητός ἀπόστολος, i. e. divinely selected and appointed (see καλέω, as above), Rom 1:1; 1Co 1:1 (L brackets κλητός); cf. Gal 1:15.
