⁴ But you shall not eat flesh with the life of it, which is its blood.

¹⁷ It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations in all your dwelling places, that you eat neither fat nor blood.

²⁷ Whoever eats any kind of blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.

²⁸ For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to lay upon you any greater burden than these indispensable requirements:

²⁹ That you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from [tasting] blood and from [eating the meat of animals] that have been strangled and from sexual impurity. If you keep yourselves from these things, you will do well. Farewell [be strong]!
