Mark 4:21-25 - The Parable Of The Lamp
21 And he said to them, Does the lamp come so that it might be put under the bushel or under the bed? Is it not so that it might be put on the lampstand? 22 For there is not anything hid, except that it may be revealed, nor become secret, but that it may come to be visible. 23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And he said to them, Watch what ye hear. By what measure ye measure, it will be measured to you, and to those who hear, it will be added to you. 25 For whoever has, to him it will be given. And he who has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.
16 And no man, having lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or places it under a bed, but places it on a lampstand, so that those who enter in may see the light. 17 For there is no secret that will not become visible, nor hid, that will not be known and come to be visible. 18 Notice therefore how ye hear. For whoever has, to him will be given, and whoever has not, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.
21 and being fully assured that what he promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was reckoned to him for righteousness. 23 Now it was not written because of him alone that it was imputed to him, 24 but also because of us to whom it is going to be imputed, to those who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 who was delivered up for our offences, and was raised up for our justification.
