Test your Bible knowledge

Only one of these common sayings is really in the Bible. Which one?

A - God helps those who help themselves.

B - Money is the root of all evil.

C - To thine own self be true.

D - To everything there is a season.

E - Cleanliness is next to godliness.

F - Love the sinner, hate the sin.

Answer:D. While you’ve heard this in famous songs like “Turn, Turn, Turn” by The Byrds, this originates in the Bible: Ecclesiastes 3:1. (A is attributed to Ben Franklin. B is a misquote from the Bible: 1 Timothy 6:10 says, “For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” C is from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. E is actually in the Talmud. F is found in one of St. Augustine’s letters.)
