1 Timothy 6:10 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Love of money — Commonly called "prudent care" of what a man has. Is the root — The parent of all manner of evils. Which some coveting have erred — Literally, missed the mark. They aimed not at faith, but at something else. And pierced themselves with many sorrows — From a guilty conscience, tormenting passions, desires contrary to reason, religion, and one another. How cruel are worldly men to themselves!

1 Timothy 6:10

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