Luke 8:16-18
Christian Standard Bible
Using Your Light
16 “No one, after lighting a lamp,(A) covers it with a basket or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in may see its light.(B) 17 For nothing is concealed that won’t be revealed, and nothing hidden that won’t be made known and brought to light.(C) 18 Therefore take care how you listen. For whoever has, more will be given to him; (D) and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

Parable of the Lamp
16 “Now (A)no one lights a lamp and covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in may see the light. 17 (B)For nothing is concealed that will not become evident, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. 18 So take care how you listen; (C)for whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he [a]thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
