    DefinitionShort: (derivative of {L:κερδαίνω}[a] ‘to earn, to gain,’ {D:57.189}) that which is gained or earned
    Glosses: ['gain', 'profit']
    Comments: κέρδος in the sense of ‘gain’ is not restricted, however, to monetary gain or profit. It may refer to any kind of benefit or advantage, for example, ἐμοὶ γὰρ τὸ ζῆν Χριστὸς καὶ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν κέρδος ‘for me life is Christ, and death is a gain’ {S:05000102100018}.
