Why did YHWH accept the offering of Abel, and not Cains.
Posted : 30 Aug, 2019 08:01 AM
Hello everyone.
Abel offered his sacrifice in FAITH,
Abel believed the promise of YHWH to send the one who would crush the head of the enemy of GOD Almighty and man.
Though Cain offered a bloodless sacrifice, the sacrifice was rejected because YHWH had rejected Cain, as Cais offering was not in faith.
Hebrews 11 verse 4
4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks.
Remember, in the Old Covenant there are offerings which have not blood.
Why did YHWH accept the offering of Abel, and not Cains.

ARE WE ONLY REDEEEMED AND OUR SINS FORGIVEN BY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST??**
Actually the blood sacrifices of Abel and all the Jews in the Old Testament were only symbolic since we are all saved only by the Blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All blood offerings before the atonement of sins by God alone were just symbolic waiting for the only Divine blood sacrifice that can saves us from our sins.
Genesis 4:3-4: In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. And Abel also brought an offering--fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked **WITH FAVOR** on Abel and his offering , but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor! {Since Abel's offering required the shedding of blood from the firstborn of his flock!}
Hebrews 10:8-10: First He said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor were You pleased with them," although the law required them to be made. Then He said, "Here I am, I have come to do Your will." He sets aside the first **TO ESTABLISH THE SECOND**. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ **ONCE FOR ALL**!!
John 13:34,35: Jesus says, "**A NEW COMMAND** I give you: Love one another **AS I HAVE LOVED YOU**, so you must love one another!" John 15:12,13: "Jesus says, "My command is this: Love each other **AS I HAVE LOVED YOU**. Greater love has no one than this, that **HE LAY DOWN HIS LIFE** for his friends!"
Matthew 26:28: Jesus says, "This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many **FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS**!"
Galatians 2:18-21: I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me! The life I live in the body, I live by **FAITH** in the Son of God, who loved me and **GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME**!! I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!!
Hebrews 9:12: He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by **HIS OWN BLOOD**, having obtained **ETERNAL REDEMPTION**!
Hebrews 9:22; 26-28: The law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood **THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS**.... But now He has appeared **ONCE FOR ALL** at the end of the ages to do away with sin **BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF**!! Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, and Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people, and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him!!
Ephesians 2:13: But now in Christ Jesus you who were once were far away have been brought near **THROUGH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST**!!
Romans 3:21-25: But now a righteousness from God, **APART FROM THE LAW**, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes **THROUGH FAITH** in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by **HIS GRACE** through the **REDEMPTION** that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Him as a **SACRIFICE OF ATONEMENT**, **THROUGH FAITH IN HIS BLOOD**!!
Isaiah 1:18: "Come now, let us reason together," says the Lord. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow!!"
Colossians 1:15-20: He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities, all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the **HEAD OF HIS BODY, THE CHURCH**; He is the beginning and the firstborn from the dead, so that is **EVERYTHING HE MIGHT HAVE THE SUPREMACY**. For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things **ON EARTH** or things in heaven, by making peace **THROUGH HIS BLOOD**, shed on the cross!!
Colossians 2:13-15: When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you **ALIVE WITH CHRIST**. He forgave us **ALL OUR SINS**, having canceled the written code, with its regulation, that was against us and that stood opposed to us, He took it away, **NAILNG IT TO THE CROSS**!!.
Ephesians 1:3-8; 11: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with **EVERY** spiritual blessing in Christ. For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and **BLAMELESS** in His sight. In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will--to the praise of His **GLORIOUS GRACE**, which He has freely given us in the One He loves. In Him we have **REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD**, **THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS**, in accordance the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding!!
I Peter 1:18,19: For you know that was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were **REDEEMED** from the empty way of life handed down to you by your forefathers, but with the **PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST**, Lamb without blemish or defect!!
I Peter 2:24,25: He Himself **BORE OUR SINS** in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness, by **HIS WOUNDS** we are healed {See Isaiah 53:5,6}!! For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls!!
I Peter 3:18 For Christ **DIED FOR SINS ONCE FOR ALL**, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God!!
I John 2:1,2: My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have One who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the **ATONING SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS**, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world!!
I John 4:10-12: This is **LOVE**, not that we loved God, but that He **LOVED** us and sent His Son as an **ATONING SACRIFICE** for our sins. Dear friends, since God so **LOVED** us, we also ought to **LOVE** one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we **LOVE** one another, God **LIVES IN US** and His **LOVE** is made complete in us.
Revelation 1:4,5: Grace and peace to you from Him who is, and who was, and who is to come and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful Witness... To Him who loves us and freed us from our sins **BY HIS BLOOD**!!
NOTE: Jesus Christ our Savior is called the **LAMB** of God **30 TIMES** in the book of Revelation because He did away with all lamb sacrifices for sin by the sacrifice of Himself!!
Revelation 5:6,9: Then I saw a **LAMB**, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne...You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals because You were slain, and **WITH YOUR BLOOD** You purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation!!
Revelation 12:11: They overcame him by the **BLOOD OF THE LAMB** and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death!!
Revelation 7:14: These are they who have come out of the Great Tribulation, they have was their robes and made them white in the **BLOOD OF THE LAMB**!!
Isaiah 53:5,6: But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed! We all, like sheep, have gone astray , each of us has turned to his own way, and **THE LORD HAS LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL**!!
Romans 5:6-10: You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless. Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates His love for us in this: While we were still sinners Christ died for us. Since we are now justified **BY HIS BLOOD**, how much more will we be saved from God's wrath through Him! When we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to Him **THROUGH THE DEATH OF HIS SON**!!

Hebrews 11:1,4,6: Now **FAITH** is confidence in **WHAT WE HOPE FOR** and assurance about **WHAT WE DO NOT SEE**!... By **FAITH** Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By **FAITH** he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by **FAITH** Abel still speaks, even though he is dead!!... And without **FAITH** it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He **REWARDS** those who earnestly seek Him!!

**IS **FAITH** A **FREE** GIFT OF GOD**??
Ephesians 2:8-10: For it is by **GRACE** you have been saved, through **FAITH**--and this is not from yourselves, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**--**NOT BY WORKS**, so that no one can boast. For we are **GOD'S HANDIWORK**, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do!!

Teddy, show me and everyone on this site where the NEW TORAH LAW for sacrifices existed during the time of Abel, am sure you can find at least one
Teddy Posted : 29 Aug, 2019 11:39 AM
Where is the NEW Ten Commandment LAW which comes from the NEW TORAH LAW listed or established at Creation when Cain killed Abel? LMBO! WHERE was it a LAW to kill someone according to you? "I am sure you can find at least one." junior?
Grace Posted : 29 Aug, 2019 01:11 PM
Teddy, by avoiding my question, you show that there is no NEW TORAH LAW during the time of Abel.
Grace,
By not answering my question Grace, you show that there was no Commandments given for Adam and Eve, Abel and Cain because Cain broke no LAWS when he killed Abel? Really Grace? Why do you ASSUME there was never Yahweh's established government with His LAWS from the beginning with Cain and Abel also? Like the LAW thou shalt not murder! Also the sacrificial LAW of the innocent animal killed, with its blood spilled, death, all pointing to sin that is the cause of it all! And of course the temporal animal sacrificial LAW ultimately point forward to when Messiah would be sacrificed because of our sins, ONCE and for all!
I answered your question with your answer when you come to terms there has always been a LAW of what is right and wrong! Did Eve break any LAW when she ate of the forbidden fruit tree of the knowledge of good and evil? What did she have FAITH IN? What was her WORKS that followed her FAITH when it was all said and done?
"But wilt thou know, O vain man, that FAITH without WORKS is dead?" Dead FAITH Grace! Right? James 2:20.
Cain's sacrifice offering was based upon his own self FAITH and his followed WORKS proved his FAITH in unrighteousness!

Hilarious that Richard P7744 is so blind when he post the below verse and YET does not large CAP - "created in Christ Jesus to do ** "GOOD WORKS" ** ! Why would he do that??? There I fixed it for you Richard! lol!
Ephesians 2:8-10: "For it is by **GRACE** you have been saved, through **FAITH**--and this is not from yourselves, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**--**NOT BY WORKS**, so that no one can boast. For we are **GOD'S HANDIWORK**, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do!!"
Notice Richard7744 does NOT understand that **GOOD WORKS** always follows **FAITH** for it proves our salvation In Messiah! When we do **GOOD WORKS** we are Yahweh's **HANDIWORK** daily in our temple bodies!

Thankyou Teddyhugger for your expert Satanic analysis of Ephesians 2:8-10.
**SALVATION IS 100% FREE**
Titus 3:3,4: At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and **LOVE** of God our Savior appeared , He saved us, **NOT BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUS THINGS WE HAD DONE**, but because of **HIS MERCY**!!
John 1:12,13: To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, **NOR OF A HUMAN DECISION** or a husband's will but, **BORN OF GOD**!!
John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "**ALL** that the Father gives Me **WILL** come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away... And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day.... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me **DRAWS HIM**, and I will raise him up at the Last Day!!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED THEM**!!"
Ephesians 2:8,9: For it is by **GRACE** you have been saved, through **FAITH**—and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES**, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**—not by works. So that no one can boast. For we are **GOD'S WORKMANSHIP**, created in Christ Jesus to do **GOOD WORKS**, which God prepared in advance for us to do!
Romans 9:15,16,18: God says, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God's mercy...Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden. {But God's saints still preach God's Word to everyone}
John 15:16: Jesus says, You did not choose Me, but I **CHOSE YOU**and appointed you so that you might bear **FRUIT**--**FRUIT** that will last!!
Matthew 22:14: Jesus says, "MANY ARE INVITED**, but few are **CHOSEN**!"
John 13:18: Jesus says, "I am not referring to all of you, I know those I have **CHOSEN**!
Ephesians 1:4-8; 11,12: In love He **PREDESTINED** us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will--to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the One He loves, In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding... In Him we were also **CHOSEN**, having been **PREDESTINED** in accordance to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity to the purpose of His will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be to the **PRAISE OF HIS GLORY**!!
I Thessalonians 1:4: For we know, brothers loved by God, that He has **CHOSEN YOU**, because our Gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction!
I Peter 2:9: But you are a **CHOSEN PEOPLE**, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you might declare the praise of Him who **CALLED YOU** out of darkness into His wonderful light!!
Revelation 17:14: They will make war against the **LAMB** but the **LAMB** will overcome them because He is **LORD** of lords and **KING** of kings and with Him will be His **CALLED** **CHOSEN** and **FAITHFUL** followers!! {Riding on white horses right after the Marriage Feast of the **LAMB** as per Revelation 19:7-20!}
Romans 6:23: The wages of sin is death, but the **GIFT OF GOD** is **ETERNAL LIFE**!
God's Word clearly teaches that faith, salvation, the Holy Spirit and eternal life are all 100 percent **FREE GIFTS OF GOD** and that the two main incentives for doing good works is being thankful to God for these amazing **FREE GIFTS** and to **EARN HEAVENLY ETERNAL REWARDS** which God has promised His chosen saints for faithful and loving service. Whereas those who believe in **SINLESS PERFECTION** believe that we have to earn our salvation and eternal life by doing **GOOD WORKS** and being **SINLESS** and that the only eternal reward is gaining eternal life by what we do; and if we commit even one small sin after we are saved we will loose our salvation and eternal life. And so man and not God becomes the Author and Finisher of our salvation.

Ok Parrot.
Your quote:
Galatians 4:9,10: How is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you want to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing **SPECIAL DAYS** and months and seasons and years. I fear for you. that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you!!
End quote
Lets see if we can clarify this verse...
The pagan Gentiles were not enslaved to the Mosaic law; Jews were not enslaved to pagan idolatry. But these two situations of slavery were the SAME in one respect: Jews and Gentiles were enslaved to something less than the immediate knowledge of God enjoyed by Christians (see v. 6, 9).
And by faith in Christ, they too have entered into a new relationship with God which involves the enjoyment of the full rights of sons and daughters of God. Now their life is to be lived not "under law" but "in Christ."
Paul does not say that the "tutors" and "governors" are positive elements, or that they are good for the child. He only says that they RESTRICT the child and make him little better than a servant.
Before God called the Gentile Galatians, they were in BONDAGE to sin and to Satan.
The apostle James calls the TEN COMMANDMENTS "the ROYAL LAW" - meaning that it came from a KING, and is worthy of HIS KINGDOM:
If you really fulfill the ROYAL LAW according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well; but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is GUILTY of all. For He who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the LAW OF LIBERTY. (James 2:8-12)
While a man CANNOT EARN entrance into God's Kingdom - that is a gift that God must bestow (Ephesians 2:8) - it is plain from Scripture that WILLFUL REBELLION against God's standard of righteousness will keep a man out of the Kingdom:
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you. .. that those who PRACTICE such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)
Our Savior tells us what He means by ETERNAL LIFE: "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent" (John 17:3). He defines eternal life as "to know God." "Know" suggests a CLOSE INTIMACY, just as a husband and wife are INTIMATE in MARRIAGE (Genesis 4:1). It indicates experiential KNOWLEDGE, not theoretical. In Amos 5:4, God exclaims, "Seek Me and LIVE!" He is saying, "Turn to Me and My way of life; seek to know Me," not "Search for Me." He is saying, "Seek to know Me by living the SAME way I do." That is how experiential knowledge of Him becomes an intimate knowing of Him. We know Him, in large part, by living the same LAW OF LOVE that He lives by.
When Jesus was asked what one must do to have eternal life, His response was simple: "If you want to enter into [eternal] life, keep the commandments" (Matthew 19:17). To reinforce this, in His last words to the disciples before His arrest and crucifixion, He had much to say about keeping God's commandments. He was giving them (and us) instruction that would not be absolved by His death:
"If you love Me, keep My commandments." (John 14:15)
The commandments merely define further how to love God and love man. We love God in general by placing Him first, by not adopting physical aids in worshipping Him, by not bearing His name in vain, and by keeping the Sabbath day holy. We love man, in general, by honoring our parents, not murdering, not committing adultery, not stealing, not lying, and not coveting.

**WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE COME TO KNOW HIM **IF** WE **KEEP HIS COMMANDS**!! I John 2:3
Deuteronomy 18:17-19: The Lord said to Moses, "I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among your fellow Israelites, and I will put My words in His mouth. He will tell them **EVERYTHING** I command Him. **I MYSELF WILL CALL TO ACCOUNT** anyone who does not listen to My words that the Prophet speaks in My name!!"
John 14:21-24: Jesus says, "Whoever has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me... Anyone who loves Me will obey My teaching, My Father will love them, and We will come to them and make Our home with them.. Anyone who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. These words you hear are not My own; they belong to the Father who sent Me!" {See Deut 18:17-19 above}
John 17:6,8: Jesus says, "I have revealed you to those whom you gave Me out of this world. They were yours; You gave them to Me and they have **OBEYED YOUR WORD**. For I gave them the words You gave Me and **THEY ACCEPTED THEM!"

Acts 5:31,32: God exalted Jesus to His own right hand as Prince and **SAVIOR** that He might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins. We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those **WHO OBEY HIM**!

He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. **HE WILL GLORIFY ME BECAUSE IT IS **FROM ME**THAT HE WILL RECEIVE WHAT HE WILL MAKE KNOWN TO YOU**!"
And holy spirit inspired the 8 writers of the 27 books of the New Testament to write **EVERYTHING JESUS COMMANDED HIM TO WRITE**!! And so all of the commands of the entire New Testament are **ALSO THE COMMANDS OF JESUS**!!
Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, "All authority in heaven and **ON EARTH** has been given to **ME**! Therefore go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU** {In the entire New Testament} And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age!"

I John 2:1-5: Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. We know that we have come to know Him **IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDS**! Whoever says, "I know Him," but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone **OBEYS HIS WORD**, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in Him!

John 15:10,14: Jesus says, "If you **KEEP MY COMMANDS**, you will remain in My love... My command is this: **LOVE EACH OTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU**!. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are My friends if you do what I command!!"
Acts 22:14,15: Ananias said to Paul, "The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know His will and to see the Righteous One and **TO HEAR WORDS FROM HIS MOUTH**. You will be **HIS WITNESS** to all people of what you have seen and heard!"
There are about 400 New Testament commands which God's saints should all strive to keep with the hope of countless eternal **REWARDS** for faithful and loving service!!
Revelation 22:12 Jesus says, “Behold I am coming soon! My **REWARD** is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done!”

As for everyone who comes to Me and **HEARS MY WORDS** and **PUTS THEM INTO PRACTICE**, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who **HEARS MY WORDS** and **DOES NOT PUT THEM INTO PRACTICE** is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete!"
John 12:48: Jesus says, "There is a judge for the one who **DOES NOT ACCEPT MY WORDS**does not accept My Words; **THE VERY WORDS I HAVE SPOKEN** will condemn them at the Last Day!"

Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"
Galatians 4:9,10: How is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you want to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing **SPECIAL DAYS** and months and seasons and years. I fear for you. that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you!!
Colossians 2:16,17: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you **EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a **SABBATH DAY**!. These are a *SHADOW* of the things that were to come, the reality, however, is found **IN CHRIST**!!

Truth is Yahweh had nothing personal toward Cain, its
just that Cain's FAITH in a different sacrifice was not accepted because he did NOT "do well" or "do what is right" or "had done the right thing" in a sacrifice required in DEATH of an animal for his sins! So its obvious below in the verses that Cain SINNED by NOT offering a proper SIN offering by REAL FAITH! Correct FAITH! Cain had FAITH in his own kind of sacrifice that did not bleed, that does not die! Cain should of chosen to "rule over" his FAITH choice to sin or not.
Genesis 4:7
KJV Verse 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.
NIV Verse 7. "If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it."
NLT Verse 7. "You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master."
NASB Verse 7. "If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it."
ESV Verse 7. "If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it."
