Senses in use

  1. Receiving back or obtaining an outcome · dominant

    In 2 Corinthians 5:10 the clause concerns each person receiving what was done in the body, while in Ephesians 6:8 the APB renders the outcome of doing good as receiving it back from the Lord. Hebrews 10:36 links doing God's will with receiving what was promised; Hebrews 11:19 describes receiving Isaac back, and Matthew 25:27 concerns receiving back what is one's own with interest.

  2. Bringing an item · rare

    In Luke 7:37, the aorist active feminine participle occurs in the clause where the woman comes with a jar of ointment; the APB renders the verse, “she brought a jar of ointment.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the relevant clauses with “obtaining,” “repaid,” “receive,” “receive back,” and “brought.” These variations describe the verses' clauses rather than fixed English equivalents for the lemma.
