Receive [χ ω ρ η σ α τ ε]. From cwrov place or space. Primarily, to leave a space, make room for. See on containing, John 2:6; John 8:37. The meaning here is make room for us. Rev., open your hearts to us, which is felicitous in view of the reference to ch. 6 12. It is equivalent to saying enlarge your hearts to take us in, as our heart is enlarged (ch. 6 11).

Defrauded [ε π λ ε ο ν ε κ τ η σ α μ ε ν]. Used by Paul only. It adds the idea of wrong for the sake of gain, which is not necessarily implied in either of the other verbs.
