Mark 4:21-25 - The Parable Of The Lamp
21 And he also said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel or under the bed? and not to be set in the lampstand? 22 For there is nothing hid which shall not be manifested; nor secret which shall not be exposed. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And he also said unto them, Take heed what ye hear; with the measure ye measure by, ye shall be measured by others, and unto you that hear shall more be added. 25 For he that has, to him shall be given; and he that has not, from him shall be taken even that which he has.
16 No one when they have lighted a lamp cover it with a vessel or put it under a bed, but set it on a lampstand, that those who enter in may see the light. 17 For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest, neither any thing hid that shall not be known and come to light. 18 Take heed therefore how ye hear, for whosoever has, to him shall be given; and whosoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.
21 being fully persuaded that he was also powerful to do all that he had promised; 22 therefore, his faith was also attributed unto him as righteousness. 23 Now it is not written for his sake alone that it was so reckoned to him, 24 but for us also to whom it shall be so reckoned, that is, to those that believe in him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 who was delivered for our offenses and was raised again for our justification.
