Luke 8:16-18

New Century Version

Use What You Have

¹⁶ “No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a bowl or hides it under a bed. Instead, the person puts it on a lampstand so those who come in will see the light. ¹⁷ Everything that is hidden will become clear, and every secret thing will be made known. ¹⁸ So be careful how you listen. Those who have understanding will be given more. But those who do not have understanding, even what they think they have will be taken away from them.”
