1 Timothy 6:10

For the love of money. Not money itself, but the LOVE of it! Many misquote this. Money itself is harmless, and can be used to feed the poor, preach the gospel, etc. But the LOVE of money makes men cheat, lie, steal, etc., and even murder! Note the character of Judas (John 12:6), which eventually led him to sell Jesus (Matthew 26:14-16). Wandered away. Chrysostom explains this with the example of an absent-minded man who goes past his destination without knowing it. Some are so eager to have money, that they forget where they really want to go!
