Actually, the biblical phrase is, "The love of money is the root of all evil."

But the current wording corresponds to most (if not all) translations and I believe it should be kept as it is.
I can't judge about the other languages, but in Russian the variant with just "money" is very common, whilst I don't think I've ever heard the variant with the "love of money". (Yeah, I've never read the whole Bible. :o)

Also, as a proverb that people actually say, "Money is the root of all evil" is a lot more common. I've actually heard a few people say it with "The love of", but I never knew it was from the Bible (which I've never read at all).
The original phrase can certainly be added though.

The quote is from I Timothy 6:10. I just mentioned the exact quote as an interesting aside. It's fine as it is because that's the way everyone says it.

The quote may be not only from Timothy 6:10, but from Pink Floyd as well :)
"Money, so they say / Is the root of all evil / Today".
