Origin
The origin of the proverb “money is the root of all evil” comes from a similar saying, “the love of money is the root of all evil.” The original version of the expression has its origin in the Bible. It appears in the First Book of Timothy, verse 6:10
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.”
In the biblical saying, it’s arguable that Paul is saying that money is not the problem; it’s people’s love or lust for money that is the problem. It’s a continuing theme in the Bible that man worships false idols to his detriment.
In his lesson, Paul states that treating money as the reason for living will end up causing you to commit all types of evil.

Ways People May Say Money is the Root of all Evil Incorrectly
The phrase “money is the root of all evil” is actually the incorrect use of the expression. The correct proverb is “the love of money is the root of all evil.” The phrase “money is the root of all evil” refers to money being evil. However, money is an inanimate object and is incapable of displaying emotion. How man’s love of money and lust for accumulating it is the real evil caused by their actions and the lengths of misery they are willing to inflict to achieve it.
Acceptable Ways to Phrase Money is the Root of all Evil
You can use the phrase “money is the root of all evil” when you’re describing actions or people or organizations that come with a financial incentive. Typically, the motivation is negative and has an adverse outcome. For instance, if a finance professional took an old woman’s savings in a Ponzi scheme, you could say that “money is the root of all evil” to describe the con artist’s love of money over another person’s well-being.
The lack of money is the root of all evil.
– Mark Twain
Meaning of this quote:
The lack of money is the root of all evil:
There is no harm in the money. But there is a harm in the fear of lack of money. It is the fear of the lack of money, which is the root of all evil. There is the fear of lack of money because people always try to put the money above all else.
Even some people judge the other on the basis of how much cash they have. Everything has some bad influence. I believe in a life, positivity should get more value rather than money.
We should not forget that money is just an asset not everything. Money should not be the motivation to live a life. If we care about our passion money will take care of itself. We should focus on our good work.
We all have one wonderful thing called life. Life is all about the finding a purpose which can help us to move forward. We should be motivated by our passion rather than money because it takes nothing to give up when we don’t have any passion.

Money is either a good or bad influence:
Napoleon Hill, once said: “Money is either a good or bad influence, according to the character of the person who possesses it“.
Money can do the good things, it can help us to build the great hospitals or schools, in short, money can do all great things and probably solve all problems. On the other side, it can be used to do the destructive things and that’s the reason why money is either a good or bad influence.
As we build our wealth it is our duty to build our character too by helping the others. We should help the one who needs so that one day they also can be able to help the someone.
Wealth gives us the ability to explore the life. But it doesn’t mean we should forget to live while chasing the money. We, humans, are the most advanced species and we should not waste our valuable time in doing the things which don’t matter.
Money is the most important asset after all no one can live without it. And it is the most powerful tool which can really help us to build something positive which can make a difference in everyone’s lives.
We don’t build services to make money, we make money to build better services.
– Mark Zuckerberg
We should make an enough wealth which can help us to explore our life. Life is meant to be happy. Money doesn’t buy happiness, but still, it can solve the major problems.
When we able to be the wealthiest person we should use our wealth in a positive direction. Money can have a good influence once we start using it in a positive way.
Money can solve almost all problems if we have a positive intention.
Follow the passion instead of the money:
The lack of money is the root of all evil. Because of lack of money, people have to give up on their dreams. Remember that money is the most important asset. Many people fail or give up because they are motivated by money, not passion. Yes, we should think about the money, but along with the dream and passion.Remember that money is important as much as oxygen, after all, we can’t live without it. Not having money can limit our lives. Money can give us the freedom to do what we love.
We should not run for the money instead of that it’s better to take some smart decisions. We should invest in the assets which can pay the bills. Remember, there are only a few ways to save the money and thousands to earn more.
If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability. – Henry Ford
Money is not the root of all evil:
I believe, Neither money nor the lack of money is the root of all evil. It is a love of money, which is the root of all evil. And it’s not necessarily the lack of money, but it’s the fear of lack of money. We should not forget that life is much more important and more valuable rather than anything.
There is nothing wrong with the love of money if we have really positive intentions. Money is really a great tool which we can use to help the others.
Fear of the lack of money is the root of all evil. Even millionaires can have the fear, no matter how much they have.
In a life, we should go after a dream and passion rather than money. We should not forget that money is just a tool which we used as a method of exchange.
The bottom line is, it is the misuse of money on the destructive things which is the root of all evil.

There are many roots to acts that would be considered evil – I will assume this means actions that harm others or denigrate the self, but the concept of ‘evil’ itself is by no means straightforward – that are nothing to do with money. For instance, a murder might be motivated by anger, a rape by uncontrollable lust, bullying and discrimination by ignorance.
You don’t need money to commit a crime. You need a big rock or stick to murder someone. You need the other person not to notice to steal something from someone. Crime has been happening before a monetary system.
Religion has also led to a lot of destruction since a long time. Not only this even the greatest of problems dont have their root cause as money.The biggest example being Taliban.Why are they attacking people, they are not getting money from it but it is because they want blood, killing of Indians and Americans. This is called racism.
So money is not the root cause of all evil.
Yes because…
Without money they couldn’t have commited the evil crimes.
and ya “SOME” evil got nothing 2 do with money but most evil got alot 2 do with money !!!
No because…
I respect both sides and I understand why many people believe that money is the root of all evil. But I have to disagree. The lack of money is the root of all evil. Back in the history of mankind, before money was invented, we bartered. Money was the result of hardworking process. Bear in mind that criminals are all born in poverty and some of them live in poverty. The fear of lacking money haunts them constantly. It is the fear of not being able to feed themselves and their families that make them commit unthinkable crimes. If money is evil, could you live in a world without money? If greed or desire is evil, have you ever wanted something that is not yours? Any of you ever want an Iphone? Any of you can live without computer, electricity and all of modern comfort?
If you think money is the root of all evil, I’d like to recommend the Communist Manifesto for you. Marx talked about an utopia society in which people work based on their ability and get rewarded base on their needs. Money would not be necessary. I like to ask those who think money is not necessary to point out a successful communist example. Im from a communist, aka socialist, country. And we are moving toward a capitalistic market. I strongly believe that if you dont work for yourself, nobody will. Money motivates people to work harder, smarter. Would there be light bub if Edison work for just bread and milk only?
You might say those riches keep getting richer without giving away their money to the poor. I’d like to ask you “Why the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer?” If you find the question somewhat interesting please spend sometimes read the book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad.” It changed a poor college student’s way of thinking, I hope it will be helpful too.
Money is not the root of all evil. The lack of money is the root of all evil.
Yes because…
But if there was no money (such as in the case of communism) the lack of it, wouldn’t adversely affect anyone.
All the fears you refer to only exist because we need ‘money’ to buy stuff but if there was no money and resources were distributed freely and equally there would be no need for petty cash or even less liquid monetary equivalents.
No-one is free of evil/desires, your argument is just as crudely sufficient as saying ‘lying isn’t bad because everyone has done it at some point’. The fact that we sin and/or are tempted to, doesn’t not make it right/good.

Yes because…
The desperation and greed caused by unlimited wants, unequal distribution of resources and a restrictive means(money) of getting anything. Is the sole and ultimate cause of stress,frustration,anger,rage and thus all crimes.
Money represents positive value
No because…
It is a great American contribution to world culture, that they have coined the phrase “to make money”. Money is made, by effort of muscle, willpower, and intelect. There can be no society composed entirely of thieves, as there will be no value to steal.
Money represents the confidence of parties that the value of their efforts can be traded for the value of others’ efforts. It is a recognition of the importance of society based on trade, rather than the only real alternative: violence.
To be clear, money contributed to charity is also traded, for the value of achieving a social goal – this in contrast to taxes, which are forcefully taken.
Yes because…
Were the soviets, who sent the first dog,man and woman into space, devoid of intellect, creativity, willpower, effort, muscle and the rest of it? P.O.A no they were not.
The notion that money is the sole motivator is a great fallacy.If the notion were true, social/pro bono/charity work would not exist. Why are there unpaid interns? Why do students pay for courses? you might argue that everything is done to ultimately make money but the point is, making money is not why people are motivated to perform well and outperform others. Some other reasons are recognition,fame,responsibility,habits( being a workaholic) and competition.
The need for money is artificially created in a capitalist world. Outside of that universe of discourse, where money is banished and resources are equally and fairly distributed, all the frustration over not having your needs or wants met, would diminish.
Having more money than another person is similar to having the ability to cheat him/her. Historical rhetoric propounds: people with higher salaries exploit people who work under them, The rich exploit the poor and so on.
It is quite possible to have money without earning it through your own competence. very rich people often inherit it from their family, order other people to make money for them, and then money generates more money through interest rates. people on Income Support get money directly through being unable to make money, although it isn’t really their fault.
Money is the end product of what you did
No because…
Money is the end product of something that you did that you think its enjoyable to you. For example, if someone started invest into a company or firms, it is because of the excitement not because of money. It is the excitement that make people invest and this excitement will leads to the end product, money. Therefore there is no reason to say that money is the root of all evil. Money is just the end product of what you did that excite you
Yes because…
money can be the end product of theft. theft is evil. therefore money is the root of evil.
Cozmo — more often people steal for money, pick-pockets, theives, burglars, crazy people. Money CAN be good but most people dont know how to use it so they use it for their own satisfying needs.
Cozmo — 90% of crimes are based on money.
Originally, Money was the solution to the problems(/inefficiencies in transactions) arising out of barter exchange system.
No because…
Read on the history of money. Originally, Money was the solution to the problems(/inefficiencies in transactions) arising out of barter exchange system. Ex: In barter exchange there had to be a double co-incidence of wants. A man selling milk who wanted to buy rice had to find someone selling rice & wanting milk. GOOD LORD! Just imagine how time-consuming & frustrating. Also, there was a need for a standard to objectively measure the value of all types of goods like cows, milk, foodgrains, clothes, ornaments, etc. Imagine feelings of doubt & being cheated arising out of selling 1 kg rice in exchange of 3 litres milk (when later you met someone offering you 4 litres in exchange for the same value)! Moreover, money is the best & most liquid store of value & has legal tender – so you sue someone legally if cheated. Money solved the problem & also avoided all the confusion.
Money is an indispensable part of our lives. Money has to be earned! The root of evil is people who want the unearned money. Saying “MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL” is like blaming your tools; it’s very embarrassing. A similar statement: “Computers (or tech) is a curse.”
Ex: You condemn the car for it lead to a terrible accident & you landed up in hospital. So is car the cause of the accident? Or are there other things to consider- like did you repair & maintain it regularly? Why did you buy it? Were you drunk? Were you daydreaming while driving? Did another car hit yours? I’d say that anyone with minimal level of intelligence should get the gist of it & should be in a position to discern the fact that car per se didn’t create the problem. In the accident scene, car was the passive factor while the man driving it was an active factor & another car hitting it was the causal factor. Money too is a passive factor. How you approach it makes all the difference! Just as how you use Internet & Computer decides whether it be a curse or a boon.
My smartass opponent may say car was purchased with money- so again money is the root of all evil. Alright then, could you dispense with your car? Could you dispense with anything else having money value? But this is different issue altogether.
Yes because…
Money can’t be dispensed with
No because…
Yes because…
There’s no such thing as the root of evil!
No because…
Evil can take different forms & types and also has different causes most of them-psychological.
Yes because…
This allegation is completely wrong. Satan is the root of all evil.

The “Problem”
Have you ever heard of the phrase, “Money is the root of all evil”? This expression is derived from a passage of Scripture.
How can money be evil and yet be the answer to everything?
The Solution
Before considering this supposed contradiction, we must first note what this verse does not state. Paul did not write that money is the root of all evil, or even that the love of money is the root of all evil, which would imply that greed is ultimately responsible for all evil done on the earth. Instead, we read that love of money is “a root of all kinds of evil.” In other words, people do all sorts of evil deeds because of a controlling desire for money.
Scripture never calls money inherently evil. In fact, wealth is often portrayed throughout God’s Word as a blessing from the Lord. For example, Psalm 112:3 describes the man who fears the Lord: “Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.
” This is not a promise that God will make every Christian rich. However, physical rewards in this life often accompany righteous living because God always blesses His people—sometimes in material ways. James reminded believers that all blessings are from God: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights
” (James 1:17).
Many of the biblical patriarchs were men of great physical wealth, such as Abraham, who “was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold
” (Genesis 13:2), and Job, “the greatest of all the people of the East
” (Job 1:3). Likewise, Solomon did not ask God for riches, yet the Lord blessed Him with incredible wealth. “So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom
” (1 Kings 10:23). Clearly, God does not despise money, as He often gives it to believers who desire Him instead of physical riches.
Although wealth can be a blessing, God’s Word also gives numerous warnings about the misuse of money.
Much of Ecclesiastes is based on the writer’s observations of this fallen world. In fact, he used the phrase “under the sun
” 29 times to describe situations on this earth, and five times he announced that “all is vanity
.” Thus, the writer’s observation that “money answers everything” fits perfectly within the context. Certainly, this does not mean that money is the best answer or the right solution to every problem. Similarly, Proverbs 10:15 claims, “The rich man’s wealth is his strong city; the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
” These are simply wise statements about the nature of money and its uses “under the sun
.”
Although wealth can be a blessing, God’s Word also gives numerous warnings about the misuse of money. Paul strongly cautioned Timothy about the danger of loving money because “those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition
” (1 Timothy 6:9; cf. 1 Timothy 6:17).
This tension between the positive and negative aspects of money is similar to that of other issues in Scripture, such as eating (e.g., Proverbs 23:1–3). Food is not inherently evil, and it was given to us as a blessing, but it can be harmful if we love it more than God. Wealth is the same way. As Jesus said, no one can serve two masters, so “you cannot serve God and money
” (Luke 16:13, ESV).
Money is extremely alluring to our flesh because it seems to answer everything. The promise of having more always hangs before us, and many in the world give their lives chasing after the “life of luxury.” Jesus told a parable about a rich man who planned to tear down his barns only to build larger ones to store his crops and goods. Jesus spoke of this man’s foolishness since he was not “rich toward God
” (Luke 12:16–21). Solomon also knew well how fleeting earthly riches are: “Do not toil to acquire wealth; be discerning enough to desist. When your eyes light on it, it is gone, for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven
” (Proverbs 23:4–5).
Conclusion
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:19–21)
