That 'a man' (vir) means faith is clear from the first verse of this chapter where Eve said, after giving birth to Cain, 'I have gained a man, Jehovah', by which is meant the doctrine of faith, called 'a man, Jehovah'. It is also clear from what has been shown already about 'a man' (vir) meaning the understanding, to which faith belongs. From this it is clear that he also annihilated charity, which is called 'a little one', that is, a little child, for anyone who denies, or murders, faith at the same time denies and murders charity to which faith gives birth.
