- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 32I have prayed for thee - From the natural forwardness and impetuosity of thy own spirit, thou wilt be brought into the most imminent danger; but I have supplicated for thee, that thy faith may not utterly fail - ͅ, from , out, and , I fail, to fall utterly or entirely off.

Nothing more certainly forebodes a fall, in a professed follower of Christ, than self-confidence, with…Read the comment
