AN.4.81. Pāṇātipātasutta ("Killing Living Creatures")

Aṅguttara Nikāya ("Collections of Numbered Discourses")

“Mendicants, someone with four qualities is cast down to hell. What four? They kill living creatures, steal, commit sexual misconduct, and lie. Someone with these four qualities is cast down to hell.

Someone with four qualities is raised up to heaven. What four? They don’t kill living creatures, steal, commit sexual misconduct, or lie. Someone with these four qualities is raised up to heaven.”
