Genesi 19:6
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.
Arcana Coelestia # 2315
2315. Their first state: they are averse to the good that flows from charity, and to the Lord, verses 4-5. Their second state though informed about the good of charity and about the delights which go with affections for that good and which they are to enjoy, they are nevertheless unmoved and reject good, verses 6-8. They even try to destroy the good of charity itself, but the Lord protects it, verses 9-10. Their third state: at length they become such that they cannot even see truth and good at all, still less see that truth leads to good, verse 11. They are so possessed by evil and falsity that they inevitably perish, verse 13. Their fourth state: the destruction of them, verse 24; and all goods and truths are separated from them, verses 25.
