Génesis 4:4-8
Nueva Versión Internacional
4 Abel también presentó al Señor lo mejor de su rebaño, es decir, los primogénitos con su grasa. Y el Señor miró con agrado a Abel y a su ofrenda, 5 pero no miró así a Caín ni a su ofrenda. Por eso Caín se enfureció y andaba cabizbajo.
6 Entonces el Señor le dijo: «¿Por qué estás tan enojado? ¿Por qué andas cabizbajo? 7 Si hicieras lo bueno, podrías andar con la frente en alto. Pero si haces lo malo, el pecado está a la puerta para dominarte. No obstante, tú puedes dominarlo».
8 Caín habló con su hermano Abel.[a] Y cuando estaban en el campo, Caín atacó a su hermano y lo asesinó.

Genesis 4:4-8
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)”
8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”[a] While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.(G)

Genesis 4:4-8
New King James Version
4 Abel also brought of (A)the firstborn of his flock and of (B)their fat. And the Lord (C)respected Abel and his offering, 5 but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
6 So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is [a]for you, but you should rule over it.”
8 Now Cain [b]talked with Abel his [c]brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and (D)killed him.
