"Filthy lucre"

  1.   3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
          •  •  •
      8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
  2.   7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
  3.   2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
