【释义】：

贪财是万恶之源

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

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.

1 Tim.6:7-10

“因为我们没有带什么到世上来，也不能带什么去；

只要有衣有食，就当知足。

但那些想要发财的人，就陷在迷惑，落在网罗，和许多无知有害的私欲里，叫人沉在败坏和灭亡中。

贪财是万恶之根；有人贪恋钱财，就被引诱离了真道，用许多愁苦把自己刺透了。”

《提摩太前书》6∶7－10］
