I have seen this to be true in the context of this conversation.
Money as the root of all evil and the root of fear.
When an individuals or a group of people placed their convictions and prioritizing money above integrity and honesty. It can be rightly say that the love for money is the root of all evil. Money is not the root of all evil.

We can say since money is the exchange rate for goods and services, it becomes crucial that one will fully indulge in money making as such to provide his services in order to earn value and to showcase his God-given talents, skills and knowledge.
