1. Mosebok 4,5

Cain
AngerEnvy and jealousy

3 Etter en tid brakte Kain noen av markens avlinger som et offer til Herren.

4 Abel brakte også et offer—fettstykker fra de førstefødte i flokken sin. Herren så med velvilje på Abel og hans offer,

men Han så ikke med velvilje på Kain og hans offer. Kain ble veldig sint, og ansiktet hans falt.

6 Herren spurte Kain: "Hvorfor er du sint? Hvorfor er ansiktet ditt nedslått?

7 Hvis du gjør det som er rett, vil du ikke bli akseptert? Men hvis du ikke gjør det som er rett, ligger synden på lur ved døren; den ønsker å ha deg, men du må herske over den."
