Surely I will require [a](A)your lifeblood; [b](B)from every living thing I will require it. And [c]from every man, [d]from each man’s brother I will require the life of man.

(C)Whoever sheds man’s blood,
By man his blood shall be shed,
For (D)in the image of God
He made man.
As for you, (E)be fruitful and multiply;
[e]Swarm on the earth and multiply in it.”
