SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:6
de los cuales sois tambin vosotros, los llamados de Jess, el Cristo;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Romans 1:6
Verse 6. Ye are the called] Ye Romans are all invited to believe in Christ Jesus, for the salvation of your souls; and to you, with the rest, my apostolical mission extends. This appears to be the most obvious sense of the word called in this place-to be called by the Gospel is to be invited to believe in Christ Jesus, and become his disciples. The word sometimes means constituted, or made, as in ver. 1.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. Among whom are ye also , etc..] The Romans, though they were the chief, were among the nations of the world to whom the apostles were sent; and since Paul was called to be an apostle, and had, as others, grace and apostleship, and particularly the apostleship of the uncircumcision, or was ordained a teacher of the Gentiles, more especially he was an apostle to them, and as such was to be regarded by them. This seems to point out what they were originally; they were among all nations which lay in darkness; and were without Christ and hope, and God in the world; but now, the called of Jesus Christ . The calling here spoken of is not to an office, or a mere external one by the ministry of the word, but an internal special call by the grace of God; and which is irresistible, efficacious, and unchangeable, and is an high, holy, and heavenly one; by it persons are called out of darkness into light, out of bondage into liberty, out of the world, from the company of the men of it, and the sinful pleasures thereof, to fellowship with Christ and his saints, and off a dependence on themselves, and their own righteousness, to the grace and righteousness of Christ, and to eternal glory. The persons so called are the elect of God, who are secured in Christ, and redeemed by him, and who has a concern with the Father and Spirit in the calling of them: hence they are styled, the called of Jesus Christ; they are called by him, and after his name; he has an interest in them; as they were before his chosen and redeemed ones, they are now his called ones; as Jacob and Israel of old were named of God, yarqm , my called, ( Isaiah 48:12); so these were named Christ's called ones; and who by calling came to be partakers of him and of his grace.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - The doctrine of which the apostle Paul wrote, set forth the fulfilmen of the promises by the prophets. It spoke of the Son of God, even Jesu the Saviour, the promised Messiah, who came from David as to his huma nature, but was also declared to be the Son of God, by the Divine powe which raised him from the dead. The Christian profession does no consist in a notional knowledge or a bare assent, much less in pervers disputings, but in obedience. And all those, and those only, ar brought to obedience of the faith, who are effectually called of Jesu Christ. Here is, 1. The privilege of Christians; they are beloved of God, and are members of that body which is beloved. 2. The duty of Christians; to be holy, hereunto are they called, called to be saints These the apostle saluted, by wishing them grace to sanctify their souls, and peace to comfort their hearts, as springing from the fre mercy of God, the reconciled Father of all believers, and coming to them through the Lord Jesus Christ.

6. Ye also. As Romans among other Gentiles: not, called as I am called.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
1:6 {Called to be Jesus Christ's} (kletoi iesou cristou). Predicate genitive after kletoi (verbal adjective from kalew, to call), though it is possible to consider it the ablative case, "called of (or from) Jesus Christ."
