"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." (1 Timothy 6:10)
Root - rhiza - cause, origin, source (Vine's).
Money is a cause, origin, source of all kinds of evil. Money "is a defense" (Ecclesiastes 7:12). It can defend from hunger, nakedness, and homelessness. Let money defend you; don't let it defeat you.
Jason Cicero
