Genesis 4:5-9 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

5. But he did not accept Cain and his offering. Cain was sad because of this, and he became very angry.

6. The Lord asked Cain, “Why are you angry? Why does your face look sad?

7. You know that if you do what is right, I will accept you. But if you don’t, sin is ready to attack you. That sin will want to control you, but you must control it.”

8. Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” So they went to the field. Then Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

9. Later, the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” Cain answered, “I don’t know. Is it my job to watch over my brother?”
