If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
