scripture

 

Ecclesiastes 2:21-23

For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun? All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless.

 

En Espanol, Eclesiastés 2:21-23

 

quote

 

There is a burden of care in getting riches; fear in keeping them; temptation in using them; guilt in abusing them; sorrow in losing them; and a burden of account at last to be given concerning them.

Matthew Henry

 

thought

 

Some people say that money is the root of all evil.  However, the correct sentiment is that money is the root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10 English/Espanol).  Money is amoral; it is neither good nor evil.  That which money is used for and the intentions behind the use thereof is where the verdict lies.
