Receiving (komizomenoi). Present middle participle of komizw, old verb, to receive back, to get what is promised (I Peter 5:4; Hebrews 10:36).
The end of your faith (to telov thv pistewv). The conclusion, the culmination of faith (II Corinthians 3:13; Romans 2:21 f.; Romans 10:4). See Hebrews 12:2 of Jesus as "Pioneer and Perfecter of Faith."
Even the salvation of your souls (swthrian yuxwn). No "even" in the text, just the accusative of apposition with telov, viz., final salvation.
