Suddenly? Who first said money was the root of all evil?



> The phrase "money is the root of all evil" is a common saying that originates from the Bible, specifically 1 Timothy 6:10, which actually states "For the love of money is the root of all evil," meaning it's not money itself that is evil, but the excessive desire for it and the actions people might take to acquire wealth that can lead to negative consequences like greed and unethical behavior.

We in our company don't do anything unethical nor unlawful, but love money very much, and are very glad other people find our work useful.

PS: Just remembered that many people who respect the Bible, for example members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, don't have any problems with money.


1 Timothy 6:10.
