It is actually the "love of money", not the money itself. It can actually be used for lots of good things! a

The love of money is A root, not THE root. Big difference. The church I attend uses the money they collect to support local needy families - for school supplies, hair cuts, food, etc. They support many local charities.

1 Timothy 6:10 King James Version (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.

I read the International Version where it says 'a' root of evil. Which says to me that there are additional roots of evil - such as pride. Would also include addiction to drugs, gluttony , etc. Certainly greed is a root.

the love of money is the root of all evil, money itself isn't evil.

Exactly - money itself is simply an inanimate object - it's what you do with it that matters.
