Luke 8:15-17

New American Standard Bible

¹⁵ But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word ^[a]with a good and virtuous heart, and hold it firmly, and produce fruit with ^[b]perseverance.

Parable of the Lamp

¹⁶ “Now ^(A)no one lights a lamp and covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in may see the light. ^17 (B)For nothing is concealed that will not become evident, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.
