Lucre [E,I,K] Bible Dictionaries

Dictionaries :: Lucre

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Lucre:

from the Lat. lucrum, "gain." 1Ti 3:3, "not given to filthy lucre." Some MSS. have not the word so rendered, and the expression has been omitted in the Revised Version.

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Lucre:

lu'-ker, loo'-ker (betsa'>; kerdos): Literally, "gain" (1Sa 8:3; Tit 1:7), hence, in the New Testament always qualified by "filthy" (1Ti 3:8, "not greedy of filthy lucre" aischrokerdes; so Tit 1:7). The adverb is found in 1Pe 5:2 (see also Tit 1:11). In 1Ti 3:3, the Revised Version (British and American) changes the King James Version to "no lover of money" (@aphilarguros).

King James Dictionary

Lucre: Gain.

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy LUCRE; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous. (1 Timothy 3:2-3)
