Luke 8:16

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.

{G1161} No man{G3762}, when he hath lighted{G681}{(G5660)} a candle{G3088}, covereth{G2572}{(G5719)} it{G846} with a vessel{G4632}, or{G2228} putteth{G5087}{(G5719)} it under{G5270} a bed{G2825}; but{G235} setteth{G2007}{(G5719)} it on{G1909} a candlestick{G3087}, that{G2443} they which enter in{G1531}{(G5740)} may see{G991}{(G5725)} the light{G5457}.

[16] No one lights a lamp just to hide it! Instead, they place it where its light can guide everyone who enters. Truth is meant to illuminate and transform lives.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put it; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put it, that those coming in may see the light,
