The popular misconception is that the Bible teaches that money is the root of all evil; in fact, it is the "love of money" that is the root of all evil. And while con men "prosperity preachers" focus their entire ministry around financial prosperity, the other extreme of Christiandom promotes the idea that poverty brings us closer to God. But neither one of these views is Biblical. What does the Bible have to say about money and pursuing wealth?
The most popular verse about money in the Bible is 1 Timothy 6:10, which says: "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."
