1 Timothy
"Root of all kinds of evil..."
Text: 1 Timothy 6:10
THE ROOT OF EVIL
The apostle Paul minced no words when he identified the root of many kinds of evil. The following text is a wise and sobering word that we would do well to give careful attention.
“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.”
