New Testament

Genesis 9:3-10 New Living Translation (NLT)

3. I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables.

4. But you must never eat any meat that still has the lifeblood in it.

5. “And I will require the blood of anyone who takes another person’s life. If a wild animal kills a person, it must die. And anyone who murders a fellow human must die.

6. If anyone takes a human life, that person’s life will also be taken by human hands. For God made human beings in his own image.

7. Now be fruitful and multiply, and repopulate the earth.”

8. Then God told Noah and his sons,

9. “I hereby confirm my covenant with you and your descendants,

10. and with all the animals that were on the boat with you—the birds, the livestock, and all the wild animals—every living creature on earth.
