It is better to receive than to give.

A commandment with regard to our relationship to God, compared to our relationship to people, where it is better to give than to receive—when Jesus, the "bread of life" and the “living water,” wants us to partake of Him and receive from Him all that we lack in this world.

Jesus told his disciples that it is more blessed to give than to receive in relating to others, and when it comes to meeting their physical and spiritual needs, He wants them to know that as their Provider, Deliverer, and Healer, it is better to receive than to give.

Receiving many messages from gamers

A thinly-veiled euphemism for trying not to hurt the feelings of certain groups of people.

A phrase to use when you want to make up some excuses that will be instantly understood by others that you are going to do something terrible, extremely laughable, or just plain idiotic.

1. Hey, boss, uh, after receiving many messages from gamers, I will not go to work today.

2. Earlier today, it was announced that the game Devotion is coming to GOG. After receiving many messages from gamers, we have decided not to list the game in our store.

Receiving Beta

Being given instruction or advice to aid in the completion of a complex task. Usually associated with rock climbing and information concerning the best way to approach routes.

That person is terrible at receiving beta, no wonder he can't ever flash a route.
