It is often translated as "love of money" or "greed" in English. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a sinful attitude that prioritizes material wealth over spiritual values and devotion to God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, wealth was often seen as a sign of success and power. However, the early Christian community, influenced by Jewish teachings, viewed the love of money as a potential idol that could lead individuals away from God. The New Testament frequently warns against the dangers of greed, emphasizing the importance of contentment and trust in God's provision.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5366.htm">philarguros</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>love of money, avarice<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>love of money (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5365: φιλαργυρία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">φιλαργυρία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">φιλαργυριας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">φιλάργυρος</span>), <span class="accented">love of money, avarice</span>: <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/6-10.htm">1 Timothy 6:10</a>.
