recibe - receives

It sounds as if you are quoting from the King James version of the Bible, and if so the word "receiveth" would simply be translated as if it were "recieves."

I like to go to www.biblegateway.com, select the verse I have in mind (probably 1 Corinthians 2:14, in your case) and view the verse in various English and Spanish versions.

Usually the closest to the KJV seem to be any of the Reina-Valera versions. The English NIV matches the Spanish NVI fairly closely, naturally.

A bi-lingual copy the NIV might be very helpful for you.
