The most-cited Bible verses for calling (NLT) are Psalms 91:15, Romans 8:30, 2 Peter 1:10. This page collects 15 of them, each with its full passage, context and the text in six translations.
Read the verse in its surrounding passage before you use it — a verse that fits in isolation sometimes says something different in context. Compare two translations where the wording is unclear, and pick for the person who will read it rather than for the theme.
Scripture returns to calling (NLT) across both testaments rather than settling it in one passage, which is why the verses on this page do not all say the same thing. Read together they give a fuller answer than any single verse does.

More than any page can list. This one carries the 15 that are most often turned to for calling (NLT), chosen so each stands on its own and links through to the full chapter it belongs to.
