1 Timothy 6:10 - For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. [NKJV]
1 Timothy 6:10
The Bible says that the LOVE of money is a root of evil; not MONEY is a root of evil.
The origin of the phrase comes from the Bible. However, it's not "money is the root cause of all evil." The phrase is "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil." Basically, this means that greed causes us to do evil.
According to the Bible the love of money is the root of all evil.
money is not the answer to all things in fact the love of it is the root of all evil
It is the greed for the money that is the root of all evil.
Money is not evil. LOVE of money is the root of evil. You are entitled to a fair profit for goods or services.
Not at all, many of the worlds misdeeds and evils have no connection to the greed for money. To add to the answer above the quote in the Bible says in the book of 1st Timmothy chapter 6 verse 10 "For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil" in this verse we can see that it is not "money" yet the love of money. To follow up on above bible quote - So one could say that love is also a root of evil.
Love of money that makes us sin but not lack of money. The quotation is incomplete: 'The love of money is the root of all evil'. Work it out from there.
LOVE OF MONEY
The correct quote is 'The Love of Money is the root of all evil"(1 Timothy 6:10). Adding the 'Love" to the quote makes it self-explanatory. Our focus should be on God, not money. Money may be something we need for our everyday living, but God is the provider of all we have and are. Loving money more than God is an open door to evil of all kinds. It leads to a selfish, materialistic and unthankful persona.
Money is not evil itself but it's the LOVE of money that is evil. Almost every societ had some form of trade and our society trades with money the sad part is that people start to love money more than god and everything else
People do stupid and evil things for money. Many/ most crimes are related to money.
