A Reading from 1 John 3:4-6: Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he (Jesus) appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him (Jesus) is no sin. No one who lives in him (Jesus) keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him (Jesus) or known him.
