Cain and Abel

4 Now Adam^[a] had sexual relations with his wife, Eve, and she became pregnant. When she gave birth to Cain, she said, “With the Lord’s help, I have produced^[b] a man!”

¹² We must not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because Cain had been doing what was evil, and his brother had been doing what was righteous.

The Birth of Seth

²⁵ Adam had sexual relations with his wife again, and she gave birth to another son. She named him Seth,^[a] for she said, “God has granted me another son in place of Abel, whom Cain killed.”

²⁹ Lamech named his son Noah, for he said, “May he bring us relief^[a] from our work and the painful labor of farming this ground that the Lord has cursed.”

¹⁷ So kill all the boys and all the women who have had intercourse with a man.
