Mark 4:21-25 - The Parable Of The Lamp

Mark 4:21-25

21 And he was saying unto them - Doth the lamp come that under the measure it should be put, or under the couch? Is it not that upon the lampstand it may be put? 22 For it is not hidden, save that it may be made visible; neither did it get hidden away, but that it might come into a place where it could be seen. 23 If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And he was saying unto them - Be taking heed what ye are hearing: - with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you, and added unto you; 25 For, he that hath, it shall be given, unto him, and, he that hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken from him.

Luke 8:16-18

16 And, no one having lit a lamp, covereth it up with a vessel, or, beneath a couch, putteth it; but, upon a lamp-stand, putteth it, that, they who come in, may see the light. 17 For there is no secret, which shall not be made, manifest; neither a hidden thing, which shall in anywise not be made known, or not come, where it can be seen. 18 Be taking heed therefore how ye hear; for, whosoever shall have, it shall be given unto him; and, whosoever shall not have, even what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.

Romans 4:21-25

21 And being fully persuaded (that), - what he hath promised, able is he also to perform: 22 Wherefore also, it was reckoned unto him as righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was reckoned unto him, 24 But for our sakes also - unto whom it is to be reckoned, - even unto them that believe upon him who raised Jesus our Lord from among the dead: 25 Who was delivered up on account of our offences and was raised on account of the declaring us righteous.
