4 Abel also brought of ^athe firstborn of his flock and of ^btheir fat. And the Lord respected ^cAbel and his offering,  ‡

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 is¹ for you, but you should rule over it.”  ‡
