Genesis 4:10-11

10“What have you done?” replied the LORD. “The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.

11Now you are cursed and banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

Genesis 9:6

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

Matthew 5:21-26

21You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22But 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.

23So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

26Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
