Genesis 4

NET

7 Is it not true that if you do what is right, you will be fine? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. It desires to dominate you, but you must subdue it.”


Darby

7 If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]D41? and if thou doest not well, sinD42 lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.


Darby Bible Notes

[with confidence] - See Job 11.15. Or possibly, 'shalt thou not be accepted.' But I should question 'accepted,' the rather as nasa is used for it here. Lit. 'is there not a lifting up?'. sin - Or 'a sin-offering,' Heb. chattath the word having both senses. see Note Lev. 5.1. Also 'punishment.' see Note Zech. 14.19.


KJV
