Genesis 9:3-5

Good News Translation

³ Now you can eat them, as well as green plants; I give them all to you for food. ^4 (A)The one thing you must not eat is meat with blood still in it; I forbid this because the life is in the blood. ⁵ If anyone takes human life, he will be punished. I will punish with death any animal that takes a human life.
