A reading from the first letter of St. John.

Beloved, who is the liar?

Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ.

Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the Antichrist.

Anyone who denies the Son does not have the father but whoever confesses the son

has the father as well let what you heard from the beginning remain in you if what you heard from the

beginning remains in you then you will remain in the Son and in the Father.

And this is the promise that he made us, eternal life. I write you these things about those who

would deceive you. But as for you, the anointing that you receive from him remains in you so that you do not need anyone to teach you.

But this anointing teaches you about everything and is true and not false, just as it taught you.

Remain in him.

Now children, remain in him. Now children remain in him.

So that when he appears,

we may have confidence and not be put to shame by him at his coming.

The word of the Lord.

All the ends of the earth have seen the saving power of our God.

All the ends of the earth have seen the saving power of our God.

Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done wondrous deeds.

His right hand is one victory for him, his holy arm. All the ends of the earth have seen the saving power of God.

The Lord has made known his salvation.

In the sight of the nations, he has revealed his justice.

He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel.
