Two Words Were Removed… and Generations of Believers Stayed Broke
Two words.
That’s all it took.
Two words were removed from a scripture… and generations of believers ended up believing something God never actually said.
Most people know the verse like this:
“Money is the root of all evil.”
But that’s not what the scripture says.
Here’s what it actually says:
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.” — 1 Timothy 6:10
Two small changes completely altered the meaning.
“The love of” disappeared.
“All kinds of” became simply “all.”
That may sound like a small edit… but it created a massive shift in how believers think about wealth.
Because when those words disappear, the message changes from a warning about idolatry… to a warning about money itself.
And when that happens, something subtle begins to take place.
Hard-working, faithful believers start shrinking back from building wealth.
They begin to associate prosperity with greed.
They confuse poverty with humility.
So instead of building, they settle.
Instead of expanding, they pull back.
Meanwhile the world keeps building businesses, systems, and wealth — while many believers sit inside churches convinced that wanting more somehow makes them less spiritual.
But the verse was never about money being evil.
It was about the LOVE of money.
When money replaces God as the object of devotion.
That’s a completely different message.
One interpretation creates believers who feel guilty about prosperity.
The other creates believers who build, steward, and multiply what God has placed in their hands.
Because the Bible never teaches that wealth itself is evil.
In fact, God says something very direct in
Deuteronomy 8:18:
He says He gives us the power to get wealth.
The Hebrew word for power there is koach — meaning strength, ability, and capacity.
It’s the God-given capability to produce and create.
And the word for wealth in that context carries the idea of strength, resources, and abundance — not just money, but flourishing in every area of life.
That means wealth was never meant to be worshiped…but it also was never meant to be feared.
God didn’t say He might give you the ability.
He said He already did.
The real question has never been whether God wants you to prosper.
The real question is whether you believed the misquote long enough to stop pursuing what He already placed inside you.
Two missing words changed how generations thought about money.
But now you know the difference.
And once truth is revealed, you can’t unknow it.
If this corrected something you were taught growing up, drop a 👑 below. And share this with someone who still believes the misquote.
