Mark 4:21-25 - The Parable Of The Lamp
21 And he said to them, Is a lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be set on the lampstand? 22 For there is nothing secret, unless to be made known; nor was any thing hidden, but that it should come to light. 23 If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear. With what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you, and more will be added to you. 25 For he that hath, to him will be given; and he that hath not, from him will be taken away even what he hath.
16 And no one having lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. 17 For nothing is secret, that will not be made manifest; nor hidden, that will not be known, and come to light. 18 Take heed therefore how ye hear; for whoever hath, to him will be given; and whoever hath not, from him will be taken even what he seemeth to have.
21 being fully convinced, that what he hath promised, he is able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness. 23 And that it was so accounted was not written for his sake alone, 24 but for our sakes also, to whom it will be so accounted through our faith in him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 who was delivered up on account of our trespasses, and raised from the dead that we might be accepted as righteous.
