aischrokerdes describes the disqualifying pursuit of gain named among conduct requirements for servants and overseers.

The two occurrences use the term in conduct qualifications, rejecting pursuit of gain: servants are described negatively in 1 Timothy 3:8, and an overseer is described negatively in Titus 1:7.

    In 1 Timothy 3:8, the accusative plural masculine form occurs among requirements for servants; the APB renders the surrounding prohibition “not greedy for gain.” In Titus 1:7, the accusative singular masculine form occurs in the qualifications for an overseer, where the APB likewise renders the clause “not greedy for gain.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both occurrences, the APB presents the relevant negative qualification with the identical phrase “not greedy for gain.” This rendering confirms the clause's overall characterization rather than isolating each term's contribution.
