27 E disse: Benedetto sia il Signore Iddio di Abrahamo mio Signore, il qual non ha dismessa la sua benignità e lealtà inverso il mio Signore; e quant’è a me, il Signore mi ha condotto per la diritta via in casa de’ fratelli del mio Signore.


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.

3151. 'Until I have spoken my words' means until it had received instruction. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking words' as giving instruction. And what he was to say, which comes next in the narrative, also has to do with instruction. Divine things flow into those things that exist in the natural man, in the measure that instruction has been received and truth has arisen out of it, see above in 3141 (end).
