New International Version (NIV)

6“Whoever sheds human blood,

by humans shall their blood be shed;

for in the image of God

has God made mankind.

6“Whoever sheds human blood,

By man his blood shall be shed,

For in the image of God

He made mankind.

6“Whoever sheds man’s blood [unlawfully],

By man (judicial government) shall his blood be shed,

For in the image of God

He made man. [Rom 13:4]

6Whoever sheds the blood of man,

by man his blood will be shed;

for in His own image

God has made mankind.

6Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

6Who so sheadeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God hath he made man.

6Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.

6“Anyone who murders a human being

will be killed by a human being.

That is because I have made human beings

so that they are like me.

6God made people so that they were like himself.

So if anyone kills a human,

another human must kill him.

6whoever sheds man’s blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God has He made man.
