Exegesis
The infinitive klēthēnai {κληθῆναι | klē-thē-nai} ‘to be called’ serves as a complementary infinitive, expressing the sphere in which worthiness is denied, while the phrase huios sou {υἱός σου | hui-ós sou} ‘your son’ stands as the nominative subject of the infinitive with the genitive sou marking possession.
In context — Luke 15:19
I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants .
