Genesis 9:6

^9:6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

^9:6 Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.

Numbers 35:31; Numbers 35:33

^35:31 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death. ^35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.

^35:31 You are not to accept a ransom for the life of a murderer who deserves to die; he must surely be put to death. ^35:33 Do not pollute the land where you live, for bloodshed pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land on which the blood is shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it.

Jeremiah 48:10

^48:10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.

Deuteronomy 20:1

^20:1 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the Lord thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

^20:1 When you go out to war against your enemies and see horses, chariots, and an army larger than yours, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, is with you.

Exodus 22:2–3

^22:2 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him. ^22:3 If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

^22:2 If a thief is caught breaking in and is beaten to death, no one shall be guilty of bloodshed. ^22:3 But if it happens after sunrise, there is guilt for his bloodshed. A thief must make full restitution; if he has nothing, he himself shall be sold for his theft.

Matthew 25:42–43

^25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: ^25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

^25:42 For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink, ^25:43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.'

James 2:15–16

^2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, ^2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

^2:15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. ^2:16 If one of you tells him, "Go in peace; stay warm and well fed," but does not provide for his physical needs, what good is that?

Ecclesiastes 6:1–2

^6:1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: ^6:2 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

^6:1 There is another evil I have seen under the sun, and it weighs heavily upon mankind: ^6:2 God gives a man riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing his heart desires; but God does not allow him to enjoy them. Instead, a stranger will enjoy them. This is futile and a grievous affliction.

Matthew 5:22

^5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

^5:22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be subject to the fire of hell.

1 John 3:15

^3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

^3:15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer.

^4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

^4:31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.

Matthew 6:31; Matthew 6:34

^6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? ^6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

^6:31 Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' ^6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.

Luke 21:34

^21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

^21:34 But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life-and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare.

^13:13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.

Ecclesiastes 12:12

^12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

^12:12 And by these, my son, be further warned: There is no end to the making of many books, and much study wearies the body.

Ecclesiastes 2:22–23

^2:22 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun? ^2:23 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.

^2:22 For what does a man get for all the toil and striving with which he labors under the sun? ^2:23 Indeed, all his days are filled with grief, and his task is sorrowful; even at night, his mind does not rest. This too is futile.

Isaiah 5:12

^5:12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands.

^5:12 At their feasts are the lyre and harp, tambourines and flutes and wine. They disregard the actions of the LORD and fail to see the work of His hands.

Proverbs 15:1

^15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

Exodus 1:14

^1:14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.

^1:14 and made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar, and with all kinds of work in the fields. Every service they imposed was harsh.

Galatians 5:15

^5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

^5:15 But if you keep on biting and devouring one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.

Numbers 35:16–18; Numbers 35:21

^35:16 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. ^35:17 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. ^35:18 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. ^35:21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.

^35:16 If, however, anyone strikes a person with an iron object and kills him, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death. ^35:17 Or if anyone has in his hand a stone of deadly size, and he strikes and kills another, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death. ^35:18 If anyone has in his hand a deadly object of wood, and he strikes and kills another, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death. ^35:21 or if in hostility he strikes him with his hand and he dies, the one who struck him must surely be put to death; he is a murderer. When the avenger of blood finds the murderer, he is to kill him.

Exodus 21:18–36

^21:18 And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed: ^21:19 If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed. ^21:20 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. ^21:21 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money. ^21:22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. ^21:23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, ^21:24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, ^21:25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. ^21:26 And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake. ^21:27 And if he smite out his manservant’s tooth, or his maidservant’s tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth’s sake. ^21:28 If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit. ^21:29 But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death. ^21:30 If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him. ^21:31 Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him. ^21:32 If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned. ^21:33 And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein; ^21:34 The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his. ^21:35 And if one man’s ox hurt another’s, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide. ^21:36 Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.

^21:18 If men are quarreling and one strikes the other with a stone or a fist, and he does not die but is confined to bed, ^21:19 then the one who struck him shall go unpunished, as long as the other can get up and walk around outside with his staff. Nevertheless, he must compensate the man for his lost work and see that he is completely healed. ^21:20 If a man strikes his manservant or maidservant with a rod, and the servant dies by his hand, he shall surely be punished. ^21:21 However, if the servant gets up after a day or two, the owner shall not be punished, since the servant is his property. ^21:22 If men who are fighting strike a pregnant woman and her child is born prematurely, but there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband demands and as the court allows. ^21:23 But if a serious injury results, then you must require a life for a life- ^21:24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, ^21:25 burn for burn, wound for wound, and stripe for stripe. ^21:26 If a man strikes and blinds the eye of his manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the eye. ^21:27 And if he knocks out the tooth of his manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the tooth. ^21:28 If an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox must surely be stoned, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the ox shall not be held responsible. ^21:29 But if the ox has a habit of goring, and its owner has been warned yet does not restrain it, and it kills a man or woman, then the ox must be stoned and its owner must also be put to death. ^21:30 If payment is demanded of him instead, he may redeem his life by paying the full amount demanded of him. ^21:31 If the ox gores a son or a daughter, it shall be done to him according to the same rule. ^21:32 If the ox gores a manservant or maidservant, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master of that servant, and the ox must be stoned. ^21:33 If a man opens or digs a pit and fails to cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it, ^21:34 the owner of the pit shall make restitution; he must pay its owner, and the dead animal will be his. ^21:35 If a man's ox injures his neighbor's ox and it dies, they must sell the live one and divide the proceeds; they also must divide the dead animal. ^21:36 But if it was known that the ox had a habit of goring, yet its owner failed to restrain it, he shall pay full compensation, ox for ox, and the dead animal will be his.
