Genesis 9:5-7
The Message

5 “But your own lifeblood I will avenge; I will avenge it against both animals and other humans.

6-7 Whoever sheds human blood,
    by humans let his blood be shed,
Because God made humans in his image
    reflecting God’s very nature.
You’re here to bear fruit, reproduce,
    lavish life on the Earth, live bountifully!”
