The love of money is the root of all evil -- so W&E runs a close second means he's second only to the love of money in terms of being the root of all evil.
Sorry for the obtuseness on my part...and worse, sorry for the obvious terrible attempt at a joke!
P.S. Dude -- using these new-fangled Bibles proves to me that you weren't reared a strict Southern Baptist! King James is the only way to go -- "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
