What is money for? Money is a blessing when it is used rightly. The same is true of all other good things. They bless if used well; they curse when abused. Many people do not seem to know what money is for. They want it above all things. But they want it to spend chiefly on themselves. Money is our circulating medium in trade. Families need it to buy things they must have. In this way society exists, and the world of traffic prospers. Money means food, clothing, dwelling, schools, books, wise recreation, and the means of doing good. Of course money is not something to hoard. Its value is in its use. The Bible says that “ the love of money is the root of all evil”. That is, money is not something sought for its own sake is the cause of all sorts of evil—lying, stealing, cheating, robbery, and even murder. This is the best reason for avoiding the love of money.

、何明智的娛樂消遣，也意味著成就好事。當然，金錢不是用來儲藏的東西。它的價值就在於使用。《聖經》說：“貪財是一切邪惡的根源”。那就是說
，追逐金錢本身是導致一切邪惡，如撒謊、偷竊
、欺騙、搶劫甚至謀殺的原因。我們不要嗜愛金錢

，根本原因就在於此。
