9 But Prov. 15:27;23:4;28:20;Matt. 13:22those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, [ch. 3:7] into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that [ch. 1:19]plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of [Ex. 23:8;Deut. 16:19]all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
