Genesis 4:5-8
New American Standard Bible
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.” 8 Cain [e]talked to his brother Abel; and it happened that when they were in the field Cain rose up against his brother Abel and (G)killed him.
