Reading 1, First John 3:7-10

⁷ Children, do not let anyone lead you astray. Whoever acts uprightly is upright, just as he is upright.

⁸ Whoever lives sinfully belongs to the devil, since the devil has been a sinner from the beginning. This was the purpose of the appearing of the Son of God, to undo the work of the devil.

⁹ No one who is a child of God sins because God's seed remains in him. Nor can he sin, because he is a child of God.

¹⁰ This is what distinguishes the children of God from the children of the devil: whoever does not live uprightly and does not love his brother is not from God.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 98:1, 7-8, 9

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.

⁷ Let the sea thunder, and all that it holds, the world and all who live in it.

⁸ Let the rivers clap their hands, and the mountains shout for joy together,

⁹ at Yahweh's approach, for he is coming to judge the earth; he will judge the world with saving justice and the nations with fairness.
