12 E quegli uomini dissero a Lot: Chi de’ tuoi è ancora qui? fa’ uscir di questo luogo generi, figliuoli e figliuole, e chiunque è de’ tuoi in questa città.


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.

2372. 'And will he surely judge?' means, Will they teach us? This is clear from the meaning of 'judging' as teaching. 'Righteousness' has reference to the practice of good, but 'judgement' to instruction in truth, as shown in 2235. Consequently 'judging' in the internal sense means instructing or teaching. Teaching truth is the same as teaching what is good since all truth looks to good.
