[1 John 3:11-12 11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and bear witness of that which we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12 If I told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things? NASB20] 11 For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we are to love one another; 12 not as Cain, [who] was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And for what reason did he murder him? Because his [own] deeds were evil, but his brother's were righteous. Genesis 3:15 15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. NASB20] 15 And I will make enemies Of you and the woman, And of your offspring and her Descendant; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise Him on the heel."
