Genesis 3:20-24

       20.   And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
      21.   Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
      22.   And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
      23   Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
      24   So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Genesis 4:1-3

       1.   And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
      2   And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
      3.   And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

Genesis 4:3-16

       3.   And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
      4   And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
      5   But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
      6.   And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
      7   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.
      8.   And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
      9.   And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
      10   And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
      11   And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
      12   When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
      13.   And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
      14   Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
      15   And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
      16.   And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

Genesis 4:9

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

Genesis 4:14

       14   Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

Genesis 4:17-26

       17   And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
      18   And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
      19.   And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
      20   And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. 21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. 22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah. 23. And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. 24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. 25. And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. 26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.

Genesis 4:24

       24   If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.

Numbers 18:17

       17   But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

Psalms 15:1-5

       1.   LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
      2   He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
      3   He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
      4   In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
      5   He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Hebrews 11:1-4

       1.   Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
      2   For by it the elders obtained a good report.
      3   Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
      4.   By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

Hebrews 11:3

       3   Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

1 John 3:10-19

       10   In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
      11.   For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
      12   Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
      13   Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
      14.   We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
      15   Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
      16   Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
      17   But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
      18   My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
      19   And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
