What does the Bible say about killing and murder?

Answered in 1 source

The commandment 'thou shalt not kill' found in Exodus 20:13 serves as a direct prohibition against murder, confirming the sanctity of human life created in God's image. This command highlights not only the act of murder but also the underlying motives of anger and malice in our hearts that can lead to such acts. God’s law is fundamentally about how we treat one another with care and respect, recognizing the inherent dignity of every individual, regardless of age or condition.
