Ploutos denotes abundance or wealth, especially of divine gifts and qualities, but also material possessions that may mislead or perish.

The dominant usage presents an abundant measure associated with divine grace, glory, knowledge, assurance, and provision; a common usage concerns material wealth, including possessions that can deceive, decay, or be devastated.

   In Matthew 13:22, Mark 4:19, and Luke 8:14, the supplied genitive form appears among cares and desires that choke the word; the APB renders these clauses with “riches.” James 5:2 depicts such possessions as having rotted, and Revelation 18:17 describes great wealth made desolate. In 1 Timothy 6:17, the verse warns those who are rich not to place hope in uncertain wealth.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term as “riches,” including phrases concerning grace, glory, and material goods; Hebrews 11:26 uses “wealth.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings indicate the clauses' presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent for each occurrence.
