'Receive' in the Bible

This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?

in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you.
