Inconsistency would cause God's name to be "blasphemed among the Gentiles" (Romans 2:24). The Greek article is emphatical, "Worthy of THE God who is calling you."
hath called—So one of the oldest manuscripts and Vulgate. Other oldest manuscripts, "Who calleth us."

glory—that ye may share His glory (John 17:22; Colossians 3:4).
