1012. In a literal sense, those who shed the blood of a person in a person will have their own blood shed is about shedding another person's blood. In an inner sense, however, it is not about anything belonging to others but about the charity in oneself. That is why the text goes on to speak of "the blood of a person in a person." When the literal sense mentions two things, sometimes the inner sense means just one. The inner self is the "person in a person," so all those who extinguish charity (which belongs to the inner self, or rather is the inner self) will have their own blood shed. That is, they will condemn themselves.
