Venal
Venals means willing to sell one's influence, especially in return for a bribe; open to bribery; mercenary: a venal judge.
The Book of Acts depicts Felix (aka Antonius Claudius), Governor of Judea, as a venal figure as he spends time with Paul in hopes of obtaining a bribe. (Acts 24:26)
At the same time too, he [Felix] was hoping that money would be given him by Paul; therefore he also used to send for him quite often and converse with him. (Acts 24:26, NASB)
