Sumario:The article discusses the significance of κλη^σιζ in the New Testament section of the scriptures. It notes that there are several meanings connected to the characters such as a calling for service, an invitation, an invocation of the gods, or a sense of being unjustifiable. It further notes that according to the doctrine of Martin Luther, a German theologian, that all occupations are divine callings, not just the positions of clergy and religious. However, it mentions that despite of in depth research, not everyone agrees with the validity of its meaning and that the clarity of what religious sense in one of its analyzed meanings is not determined as reasonable.
