At first sight, this frequently quoted biblical passage may appear reasonable, but it's not precisely what the Bible says.
In his first letter to his young protege Timothy, the Apostle Paul stated that, "For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." - 1 Timothy 6:10

Obviously, it is not money that causes evil, but the love of money. If we remove words, the statement's meaning changes, and distorts the word of God.
Money is nothing bad. You can do many good things with money. However, if we hoard, become greedy, and love money, we create a false idol, leading to destruction and suffering eventually.
Nothing we own is ours. Everything belongs to God.
(1 Corinthians 10:26 | Psalms 24:1)
