PROVERB
MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.
Submitter comment:
THIS MEANS THAT YOU SHOULDN'T WORSHIP MONEY. IT CAN MAKE YOU
GREEDY AND GENERALLY DEBASE YOU.
Data entry tech comment:
THIS PROVERB IS QUOTED MORE ACCURATELY IN 1 TIMOTHY 6:10 AS "THE
LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVILS." INFORMANT'S EXPLANATION
REFLECTS THIS EMPHASIS ON THE ATTITUDE TOWARD MONEY RATHER THAN
THE MONEY ITSELF BEING EVIL'S ROOT.
