1 Timothy 6:10
_ _ the love of money — not the money itself, but the love of it — the wishing to be rich (1 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” (1 Timothy 1:19; 1 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” (1 Timothy 6:9). |
1 Timothy 6:10
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
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and (d) pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
(d) Sorrow and grief do as it were pierce through the mind of man, and are the harvest and true fruits of covetousness. |
