Chapter 4 of Genesis deals with the story of Cain and Abel, the first children of Adam and Eve. Cain, who was a farmer, offered God an offer of fruits and vegetables, while Abel, who was a pastor, offered God the fat of the first lambs born in his flock. God accepted Abel's offer, but not Cain's, which led Cain to kill Abel. Here are five verses related to the topics covered in Genesis 4:

1 John 3:12: "Let us not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and killed his brother. And why did it kill him? For his works were evil and those of his brother were righteous." This verse speaks of the story of Cain and Abel as an example of good versus evil and the importance of doing good works.

Hebrews 11:4: "By faith Abel offered God a sacrifice superior to that of Cain. By faith he was recognized as righteous, when God approved his offers. Although he is dead, he still speaks through faith." This verse highlights the importance of faith and righteousness, and how Abel was recognized by God for his offerings and his faith.

Proverbs 14:12: "There is way that seems right to man, but in the end leads to death." This verse highlights the importance of following the right way and making wise choices to avoid serious consequences like the one that Cain faced.

Genesis 4:15: "But the Lord said to Cain, 'If anyone kills Cain, he will suffer revenge seven times greater.' And the Lord has put a sign in Cain so that no one would find him killed him." This verse shows that God punished Cain for his action, but also protected him from the revenge of others.

Genesis 4:26: "To seven also a son was born, and he called him Enos. At that time men began to invoke the name of the Lord." This verse highlights the beginning of worship of God among people, showing that even in the midst of violence and sin, there were still those who sought a connection with God.
