'Received' in the Bible

Once you were not a people [at all], but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Just as each one of you has received a special gift [a spiritual talent, an ability graciously given by God], employ it in serving one another as [is appropriate for] good stewards of God’s multi-faceted grace [faithfully using the diverse, varied gifts and abilities granted to Christians by God’s unmerited favor].
