1. Persons identified by a call · dominant

   The adjective describes Paul in clauses concerning apostleship in 1 Corinthians 1:1 and Romans 1:1. It also identifies groups: in 1 Corinthians 1:24 the APB renders those addressed as "those who are called," and in Romans 8:28 it places them in the clause "called according to his purpose"; Matthew 22:14 contrasts the many called with the few chosen, while Revelation 17:14 names those with the Lamb as "called and select and faithful."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly uses "called," including "called as an apostle," "called of Jesus Christ," and "called to be holy." In Revelation 17:14 it presents the group as "called and select and faithful"; these are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
