<P> Soon after Martin Luthers' translation of the Bible to German, William Tyndale (1494 - 1536) did a similar translation into English as "For covetousness is the root of all evil; ..." </P> <P> The grammarian Daniel B. Wallace lists six alternative possible translations of the primary Greek text, 1 Timothy 6: 10 . There are two reasons for this: first, it is difficult to tell whether the noun "root" is intended to be indefinite, definite, or qualitative . Second, the Greek word for "all" may mean "all without exclusion" or "all without distinction". But by reading more verses either side of 1 Timothy 6: 10 a greater surety and confidence that the message is the coveting and striving of greed for something on earth is the sin the Jews and Christians define, where money could be exchanged with anything else on the earth eg power . The opposite of greed is charity, each of the Seven deadly sins has a counterpart in the Seven virtues . </P> <P> Augustine defines love of money as a subcategory of avarice . Luther referred to the love of money in strong accusations against the Catholic Church in his initial work of the Ninety - five Theses or Disputation on the Power of Indulgences . He saw the selling of an indulgence by the church, ie paying money to the church to gain a reduction of penalty of sins in purgatory (a belief unique to the Catholic church) as being more commercial greed of the church than it was doing actual good for the Christian person . Later in some sermons he shone the spotlight on commercial money lenders which happened to be Jewish and one can argue have anti-semitic undertones . However, more to the point is thesis 43 of the Ninety Five thesis "A Christian who gives to the poor or lends to those in need is doing better in God's eyes than one who buys' forgiveness' (buys an indulgence)"., as in a Jew who changed from being a money lender with greed to a money lender with charity would be doing better in God's eyes than simply purchasing a piece of paper that said they will spend less time in purgatory from Luther's point of view . This is of course seeks to eliminate anit - semitism and in fact be quite pro semitic . </P>
