1 John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was
of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
Actually, Cain and able were born within a year after the serpent tempted Eve and the man and woman were expelled. Cain and Able were twins, the former one's father was the "serpent" and the latter one's father was Adam. Sort of twins, but not: Two babies, two fathers.
Genesis 4:2 And
she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
She gave birth to two babies at the same time.
Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between
thy seed and
her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
