Luke 8:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 But that which fell in good ground, are they which with an [a]honest and good heart hear the word, [b]and keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 ¶ (A)[c]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.
