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 “No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or hides it under a bed. A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house. 17 For all that is secret will eventually be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known to all.
18 “So pay attention to how you hear. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what they think they understand will be taken away from them.”
