Contemplative Bible Reading

Genesis 4:6-7 (New English Translation)

6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why is your expression downcast? 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.”

Can a downcast expression lead to sin?

Does a downcast expression indicate that sin is crouching at the door?

Is sin always crouching at the door?

Does sin desire to dominate each of all each moment?

How do we subdue sin?

As usual, writing the questions is much easier than writing the answers. I find these verses an interesting turn on words.
