Luke 22:32  KJV  "But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not:  and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren."

Interpretation based on the following study:  "I myself now bid and seek after to pierce through to the utmost for your sakes, in order that in no way assuredly, that not even one of you will leave Truth and Faithfulness.  Conform to My Authority based on conviction from an inward certainty.  For your sakes, even of you, whithersoever also, to turn back decisively by deliberate choice in response to Truth and Divine Grace that sets you free, restoring you to uprightness.  Turn resolutely to be strengthened and made strong to abide and stay in union, joined near beside Me in a relationship of participation and proximity, fulfilling the Will of the Father to reconcile and uphold you in closeness and fidelity."
