The Parable of the Revealed Light(A)

16 (B)“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 (C)light. 17 (D)For nothing is secret that will not be (E)revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. 18 Therefore take heed how you hear. (F)For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he [a]seems to (G)have will be taken from him.”

Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”(C)
