Genesis 4:5-7
King James Version
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

5 but (A)for Cain and his offering He had no regard. So (B)Cain became very angry and his face [a]was gloomy. 6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “(C)Why are you angry? And why is your face [b]gloomy? 7 (D)If you do well, [c]will your face not be [d]cheerful? (E)And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; and its desire is for you, (F)but you must master it.”
