7
Если дјлаешь доброе: то не поднимаешь ли чела? а если не дјлаешь добраго: то у дверей грјхъ лежитъ; онъ влечетъ тебя къ себј, но ты господствуй надъ нимъ.
Бытие 4:7
Arcana Coelestia # 370
370. Verse 9 And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?
'Jehovah said to Cain' means a certain perceptivity coming from within, which acted as a dictate concerning charity, which is 'Abel your brother'. 'He said, I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?' means that faith regarded charity as worthless and was unwilling to be its servant. So it completely rejected anything that was a matter of charity. Such did their doctrine become.
