This is regarded as death, meaning that previously, he was adhered to life, and he was rewarded with it only through the power of faith. Therefore, now that he is corrected and begins to work in faith once more, he receives back his breath of life. At that time, he says, \u201cI thank You for returning my soul with compassion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is precisely when he assumes once more the work in the manner of faith above reason.
