Luke 8:16-18

The Parable of the Lamp

16 "And no one, [after] lighting a lamp, covers it with a jar or puts [it] under a bed, but puts [it] on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.
17 For nothing is secret that will not become evident, and nothing hidden that will never be known and come to light.
18 Therefore consider how you listen, for whoever has, to him [more] will be given, and whoever does not have, even what he thinks [that he] has will be taken away from him."
