      Is Money the Root of All Evil?

      The Bible’s answer

      No. The Bible does not say that money is evil, nor does it identify money as the underlying cause of all bad things. The common expression “money is the root of all evil” is an incomplete and misleading Bible quotation. The Bible actually says that “the love of money is the root of all evil.”a—1 Timothy 6:10, King James Version, emphasis ours.
