Esodo 12:31
To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

337. [329.] The Intellect Teaches the Will and Does Not Lead It
Or that faith teaches and does not produce good works. For a person may be wise and see what is good and evil, but still act contrary to that sight, and in that case he either puts it out of his mind or hates it. It is the will in the intellect that is then opposed to it. In time it even dispels it. It is the truth of his sight that he acknowledges, and not truth in life.
But whatever once becomes a matter of the will, whether it be good or evil-this is called up by the sight and intellect or thought, and then the will is aroused and so appears in the thought. This occurs in all regenerate people. It seems at the time as though the will were aroused by the thought, but that is not the case. Rather it is like the sight teaching the foot to walk cautiously or the hand to perform some task. It seems as though it is leading, but it is not leading but showing and teaching.
The case is altogether like that of the heart and lungs. The lungs do not breathe unless the heart also acts, nor can a reciprocal conjunction of the two be initiated by the lungs but by the heart. (See more below in no. [355].)
