Genesis 4:4-7
English Standard Version
4 and Abel also brought of (A)the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord (B)had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but (C)for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. 6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7 (D)If you do well, will you not be accepted?[a] And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. (E)Its desire is contrary to[b] you, but you must rule over it.”

New International Version
4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions(A) from some of the firstborn of his flock.(B) The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering,(C) 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry?(D) Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door;(E) it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.(F)”
