Sermon Tone Analysis

*Perilous Times*

* *

*2 Timothy 3:1-9** (NIV)*

*1*But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.

*2*People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, *3*without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, *4*treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— *5*having a form of godliness but denying its power.

Have nothing to do with them.

*6*They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, *7*always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.

*8*Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth—men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.

*9*But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
