Exegesis
The genitive participle kalesantos {καλέσαντος | kalésantos} with ek skotous hymas {ἐκ σκότους ὑμᾶς | ek skótous hymâs} identifies the agent “who called you out of darkness,” with ek skotous denoting the source domain.
In context — 1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen race, a priesthood of the King, a holy nation, a people set apart for possession , so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you from darkness into His wonderful light.
