Genesis 4:7-9
Good News Translation
7 If you had done the right thing, you would be smiling;[a] but because you have done evil, sin is crouching at your door. It wants to rule you, but you must overcome it.”
8 (A)Then Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let's go out in the fields.”[b] When they were out in the fields, Cain turned on his brother and killed him.
9 The Lord asked Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”
He answered, “I don't know. Am I supposed to take care of my brother?”
