Commentary

But I have prayed--have been doing it already. for thee--as most in danger. (See on Luk 22:61-62.) fail not--that is, entirely; for partially it did fail. converted--brought back afresh as a penitent disciple. strengthen, &c.--that is, make use of thy bitter experience for the fortifying of thy tempted brethren.
