Corruptible in heaven also? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

venal

'corruptible' is the definition.
(I know that corruptible can be written as venal)

'in heaven also?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'VENAL' is hidden in the letters of 'heaven also'.

(Other definitions for venal that I've seen before include "easily bribed" , "Influenced by bribery, corrupt" , "Motivated by bribery" , "Easily corrupted" , "Corruptible" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
