    Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the
    law, but under grace.

    Gen 4:7 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.

    rCLIf you do well, is there not exaltation? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is toward you; but you should rule over it.rCY (Gen 4:7)


    "Genesis 4:6-8 presents two harrowing scenes in which Yahweh's
    intervening grace is ignored by Cain in his anger and dejection
    over an unacceptable sacrifice. Yahweh has provided a male
    animal in Cain's doorway which waits in obedient submission for
    the offender to slay it for the purposes of atoning for his
    sin. Rather than correct his conduct before Yahweh by
    sacrificing the animal, Cain took no action whatsoever. Rather,
    at some point after speaking with his brother Abel about an
    unknown topic in the field, he violently attacked him and
    ruthlessly killed him. The passage is a theological treasure
    house, displaying divine condescension toward a sinner with
    otherwise no recourse for restoration. At the opportune time,
    God Himself extended the offender grace by means of a "re-do
    sacrifice." Cain, however, would not accept this grace by
    slaying the animal. Ultimately he rose up and killed the wrong
    object--his brother Abel."
