Receiving (κομιζόμενοι)
The verb originally means to take care of or provide for; thence to receive hospitably or entertain; to bring home with a view to entertaining or taking care of. Hence, to carry away so as to preserve, to save, rescue, and so to carry away as a prize or booty. Generally, to receive or acquire. Paul uses it of receiving the awards of judgment (2Co 5:10; Eph 6:8; Col 3:25). In Hebrews it is used of receiving the promise (Heb 10:36; Heb 11:39), and of Abraham receiving back Isaac (Heb 11:19). Peter uses it thrice, and in each case of receiving the rewards of righteousness or of iniquity. See 1Pe 5:4; 2Pe 2:13.
