In the NRSV and ESV it says "a root of all kinds of evils".[0] That seems more accurate to me, because there are different roots of evil, including pride and lust. But if I understand what you're saying, it is true that money itself is not evil. In the early church, it was the glory of the rich to share their possessions with the poor. Rather, to my current understanding, it is evil to obsessively desire something beyond what God has given you, and that's not limited to just money. I wouldn't say that I'm a greedy person in terms of money (open to being wrong about that), but I've always felt unsatisfied wherever I was in life, and that led to all kinds of bad fruit. Anyway, thanks for the comment. :pray:[0]: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+tim+6%3A10&ve...
