Luke 8:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 ¶ (A)[a]No man when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it under a vessel, neither putteth it under the bed, but setteth it on a candlestick, that they that enter in, may see the light.
17 (B)For nothing is secret, that shall not be evident: neither anything hid, that shall not be known, and come to light.
18 [b]Take [c]heed therefore how ye hear: for (C)whosoever hath, to him shall be given: and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that [d]which it seemeth that he hath.
