When a Christian abstains from blood, he is in effect expressing his faith that only the shed blood of Jesus Christ can truly redeem him and save his life. ​ — Ephesians 1: 7.
وعندما يمتنع المسيحي عن الدم ،‏ يعرب بذلك عن ايمانه بأن دم يسوع المسيح المسفوك وحده يمكنه ان يفديه ويخلص حياته .‏ —‏ افسس ١ :‏ ٧‏ .‏
