16 “No
one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under
a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the
light. 17 For nothing is secret that will not
be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to
light. 18 Therefore take heed how you hear. For
whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even
what he seems to have will be taken from him.”
