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.
All Commentaries on 1 Timothy 6:10 Go To 1 Timothy 6
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
Therefore the man of good counsel says, “I have learned in whatever state I am to be content.” For he knew that the root of all evils is the love of money. Therefore he was content with what he had, without seeking for what was another’s. Sufficient for me, he says, is what I have. Whether I have little or much, to me it is much. .
