SN.14.25. Pañcasikkhāpadasutta ("The Five Precepts")

Saṁyutta Nikāya ("The Linked Discourses")

At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, sentient beings come together and converge because of an element: those who kill living creatures with those who kill living creatures, those who steal … commit sexual misconduct … lie … consume alcoholic drinks that cause negligence …

Those who refrain from killing living creatures … who refrain from stealing … who refrain from sexual misconduct … who refrain from lying … those who refrain from consuming alcoholic drinks that cause negligence with those who refrain from consuming alcoholic drinks that cause negligence.”
