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.

What does the Bible say is the root of all evil?

Answer:In 1Timothy 6:10 we read "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" (This reminds me of my mother-in-law trying to win the lottery for the past 3 years) So we see it's not money itself, but the love of money is the root of all evil. Why? Because it proports greediness and power. People have perverted justice, prostituted themselves, committed murder, betrayed others, and falsified the truth for the love of money. True Christians realize money is an important tool, however they do not get involved with that love for money.
