what are the most common misquoted scriptures?

Question

1. money is the root of all evil(thats not what it says)

2.Believe on jesus and your saved( thats not what it says)

Answer 1

Oh man, I don't even think it's those ones. People take verses out of context and put meaning into them that they were never intended to have. A good example is the verse Romans 2:1, which says, "You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same thing." Most people would say that means we should not "judge" others (never say they are wrong). But if you read it in context, just a few verses before, Paul was pretty (very) harsh saying that what people do is wrong. So we have added a meaning to the word judge that it did not originally mean. This is just one example. There are so many more, including the two you gave.
