imho, your interpretation is out of sync with Scripture in a number of places and out of sync with a number of scholars.

However, if you truly think that the love of money is ranked by God as a higher priority--help yourself.

Not going to make that error, myself.

[bagster]

Wait.

Are we really gonna argue about whether money or pride is the root of all evil

Really?

Oh, well. Knock yourselves out, fellas.

Free country. Or is it?

your interpretation

I just posted Scripture not opinion. Plain words. KJV

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

ESV:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

50 translations and all not paraphrases say the same thing.
