"wrong on both counts": I'm really not. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Timothy%206:10&version=NIV for the "love of money" quote, which is word-for-word identical.

And there's nothing about population control here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money "The primary functions which distinguish money are: medium of exchange, a unit of account, a store of value and sometimes, a standard of deferred payment."
