聖經經文

“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.” (KJV) “貪財是萬惡之根。有人貪戀錢財，就被引誘離了真道，用許多愁苦把自己刺透了。 ”（提摩太前書 6：10）

意思

來源及應用

“貪財是萬惡之根”這說法最先出現在保羅（Paul) 寫給門徒提摩太的書信。保羅提醒我們不要因貪財而墮落．然而，錢本身并沒有罪過，驅使我們犯罪的是對錢財的貪愛。
