Reading 1, Second Corinthians 6:1-10

¹ As his fellow-workers, we urge you not to let your acceptance of his grace come to nothing.

² As he said, 'At the time of my favour I have answered you; on the day of salvation I have helped you'; well, now is the real time of favour, now the day of salvation is here.

³ We avoid putting obstacles in anyone's way, so that no blame may attach to our work of service;

⁴ but in everything we prove ourselves authentic servants of God; by resolute perseverance in times of hardships, difficulties and distress;

⁵ when we are flogged or sent to prison or mobbed; labouring, sleepless, starving;

⁶ in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness; in the Holy Spirit, in a love free of affectation;

⁷ in the word of truth and in the power of God; by using the weapons of uprightness for attack and for defence:

⁸ in times of honour or disgrace, blame or praise; taken for impostors and yet we are genuine;

⁹ unknown and yet we are acknowledged; dying, and yet here we are, alive; scourged but not executed;

¹⁰ in pain yet always full of joy; poor and yet making many people rich; having nothing, and yet owning everything.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 98:1, 2-3, 3-4

¹ [Psalm] Sing a new song to Yahweh, for he has performed wonders, his saving power is in his right hand and his holy arm.

² Yahweh has made known his saving power, revealed his saving justice for the nations to see,

³ mindful of his faithful love and his constancy to the House of Israel. The whole wide world has seen the saving power of our God.

⁴ Acclaim Yahweh, all the earth, burst into shouts of joy!
