1Timothy 6:9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.
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.
11 But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.
The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Many misquote this. They say the love of money is the root of evil. This is not true. The love of money is not THE root of evil, but the root of ALL KINDS of evil. The root of evil is pride as evidenced in Lucifer when decided he could be like the Most High. This where evil originated.
God's people on the contrary are to pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and gentleness. These are no easy task, I might add. It's a tall order, but with God's help we can do this.
