"Money is the root of all evil." Actually that's not what the Bible said. Read it again.
This phrase is one of the often misquoted Bible phrases which have entered into common usage.
"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." 1 Timothy 6:10
The love of money is actually a love of self, because money can give power to the self. Money itself is just a tool, which can be used for good or for evil.
