14
Ed esso gli diede signoria, e gloria, e regno; e tutti i popoli, nazioni, e lingue, devono servirgli; la sua signoria è una signoria eterna, la qual non trapasserà giammai; e il suo regno è un regno che non sarà giammai distrutto.
Daniel 7:14
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.

Doctrine of the Sacred Scripture #50
50. The Church’s Doctrine Must Be Drawn from the Word’s Literal Sense and Verified by It
In the preceding section we showed that in its literal sense the Word is in its fullness, in its holiness, and in its power. And because the Lord embodies the Word — inasmuch as He is the totality of the Word — it follows that the Lord is most present in that sense, and that He teaches and enlightens a person in the light of it.
This, however, needs to be demonstrated according to the following outline:
1. The Word is not understood apart from doctrine.
2. Doctrine must be drawn from the Word’s literal sense.
3. However, Divine truth, of which doctrine ought to consist, is apparent only to people who are enlightened by the Lord.
