1 Timothy 6:10

the love of money—not the money itself, but the love of it—the wishing to be rich (I Timothy 6:9) —"is a root (ELLICOTT and MIDDLETON: not as English Version, 'the root') of all evils." (So the Greek plural). The wealthiest may be rich not in a bad sense; the poorest may covet to be so (Psalms 62:10). Love of money is not the sole root of evils, but it is a leading "root of bitterness" (Hebrews 12:15), for "it destroys faith, the root of all that is good" [BENGEL]; its offshoots are "temptation, a snare, lusts, destruction, perdition."

coveted after—lusted after.

erred from—literally, "have been made to err from the faith" (I Timothy 1:19; I Timothy 4:1).

pierced— (Luke 2:35).

with . . . sorrows—"pains": "thorns" of the parable (Matthew 13:22) which choke the word of "faith." "The prosperity of fools destroys them" (Proverbs 1:32). BENGEL and WIESINGER make them the gnawings of conscience, producing remorse for wealth badly acquired; the harbingers of the future "perdition" (I Timothy 6:9).
