“Perciocchè Iddio ha tanto amato il mondo, ch’egli ha dato il suo unigenito Figliuolo, acciocchè chiunque crede in lui non perisca, ma abbia vita eterna.”
Giovanni Diodati, a Geneva-born scholar of Italian descent, translated the Bible into Italian directly from the originals in 1607, revising it in 1649.
For centuries it was the Bible of Italian Protestantism — a Reformation classic in the language of Dante.
BibleDawn’s Italian edition (/it/) uses the 1649 Diodati text.
