Lucre
LUCRE.The Eng. word lucre is in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] always qualified by the adj. filthy, because the word itself had not then the offensive meaning it has now. Erasmus speaks of God turning mens wickedness into the lucre and encreace of godlynesse. It simply meant gain. Filthy lucre means sordid gain.

Lucre
luker, looker (, beca; , 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).
