Genesis 4:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ The Lord asked Cain, “Why are you angry? Why ·do you look so unhappy [^Lhas your face/countenance fallen; 4:5]? ⁷ If you do things ·well [correctly; appropriately], ·I will [^Lwill I not…?] accept you, but if you do not do them ·well [correctly; appropriately], sin is ·ready to attack you [^Lcrouching at the door]. Sin ·wants [desires to control; 3:16] you, but you must rule over it.”

⁸ Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out into the field.”^[a] While they were out in the field, Cain ·attacked [^Lrose up against] his brother Abel and killed him [Matt. 23:35; Luke 11:51; Heb. 12:24; 1 John 3:11–12; Jude 11].
