On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

He desired that their faith might be perfected, which he could not be the proper cause or author of; for he pretended not to dominion over their faith, nor to have the donation of it, and he therefore concludes with prayer for them. Whom he prays to, namely, God and Christ. Prayer is a part of religious worship, and all religious worship is due unto God only.
