If you’re asking about the proverb, not the biblical quote, then Money is the root of all evil is correct. Greed would be closest to the original quote since it’s the love of, actually the OBSESSIONAL or lustful desire to accumulate money.

The BELIEF seems to be wrong. The profiles of leading torturers and serial killers, leading pedophiles as WELL does not show any special interest in money. Quite a few entrepreneurs famous for their greed never seemed to harm anyone because of it (capitalism allows that) and became unbelievable philanthropists helping stamp out major human problems.

Bible-ists usually then say money doesn’t mean money it means, let’s say, material goods, wealth, accumulation, mammon or whatever (though Aramaic for mammon and money is NOT the same). Or they’ll ape the buddhist teaching that grasping after goods is the root of all evil. But even buddhists note that it’s not grasping but desire itself that is the root of…ignorance, or false belief, or maya, the illusion of reality. And since that’s the cause of suffering, it is the root of all evil. Except to a Christian (especially a Catholic) suffering is good lots of times, especially when born as a cross and offered up to God as your martyrdom.

So, MAYBE, don’t CITE the proverb if you can help it.
