Mark 4:21-25 - The Parable Of The Lamp
21 Then He put a question to them: "A lamp is not brought to be put under a peck-measure or under a bed, is it? Is it not rather to be put on the lamp-stand? 22 For nothing is ever hidden by people except for the purpose of having it known, and people do not keep secrets except to tell them. 23 If anyone has ears let him listen!" 24 And He was saying to them: "Take care what you hear. The measure you give will come back to you, and more besides. 25 For whoever has will have more given to him, but whoever has nothing, even what he has will be taken away."
16 "Nobody lights a lamp and then covers it with a pot or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light. 17 For there is nothing hidden which shall not come out into the open, and nothing kept secret which shall not be known and come to light. 18 So take care how you listen, for whoever gets more will have more given to him, and whoever does not get more will have even what he thinks he has taken away from him."
21 in full assurance that He was able to do what He had promised. 22 Therefore, his faith was credited to him as right standing with God. 23 It was not for his sake alone that it was written, "It was credited to him"; 24 it was for our sakes too, for it is going to be credited to us who put our faith in God who raised from the dead our Lord Jesus, 25 who was given up to death because of our shortcomings and was raised again to give us right standing with God.
