Genesi 4:15
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 #372
372. To be a “keeper” signifies to serve, like the “door-keepers” and “porters” (that is, the keepers of the threshold), in the Jewish Church. Faith is called the “keeper” of charity, from the fact that it ought to serve it, but it was according to the principles of the doctrine called “Cain” that faith should rule, as was said in verse 7.
