1009. Verse 6 Whoever sheds man's blood in man, his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man.

'Shedding man's blood in man' means destroying charity; 'in man' is residing with man. 'His blood shall be shed' means his condemnation. 'For in the image of God He made man' means charity, which is the image of God.

And God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. (Genesis 1:31).
