The often-cited phrase "money is the root of all evil" is a misquote of 1 Timothy 6:10 in the Bible. The verse reveals that "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil," reminding us that greed and materialism can lead to wrongdoing. Money, in itself, is a neutral tool, empowering us to create positive change or to act selfishly, depending on how we choose to use it.
Correct & incorrect - yes it's the love of $$ - not $$ in & of itself that's the root of evil! BTW the KJV does say "of all evil".
1Ti 6:10 (KJV) - "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
I guess the "love of $$" really is the root all all (or most) evil!

Still, I am willing to risk it.
