1 Adam vero cognovit uxorem suam Hevam, quæ concepit et peperit Cain, dicens: Possedi hominem per Deum. 2 Rursumque peperit fratrem ejus Abel. Fuit autem Abel pastor ovium, et Cain agricola. 3 Factum est autem post multos dies ut offerret Cain de fructibus terræ munera Domino. 4 Abel quoque obtulit de primogenitis gregis sui, et de adipibus eorum: et respexit Dominus ad Abel, et ad munera ejus. 5 Ad Cain vero, et ad munera illius non respexit: iratusque est Cain vehementer, et concidit vultus ejus. 6 Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Quare iratus es? et cur concidit facies tua? 7 nonne si bene egeris, recipies: sin autem male, statim in foribus peccatum aderit? sed sub te erit appetitus ejus, et tu dominaberis illius. 8 Dixitque Cain ad Abel fratrem suum: Egrediamur foras. Cumque essent in agro, consurrexit Cain adversus fratrem suum Abel, et interfecit eum. 9 Et ait Dominus ad Cain: Ubi est Abel frater tuus? Qui respondit: Nescio: num custos fratris mei sum ego? 10 Dixitque ad eum: Quid fecisti? vox sanguinis fratris tui clamat ad me de terra. 11 Nunc igitur maledictus eris super terram, quæ aperuit os suum, et suscepit sanguinem fratris tui de manu tua. 12 Cum operatus fueris eam, non dabit tibi fructus suos: vagus et profugus eris super terram. 13 Dixitque Cain ad Dominum: Major est iniquitas mea, quam ut veniam merear. 14 Ecce ejicis me hodie a facie terræ, et a facie tua abscondar, et ero vagus et profugus in terra: omnis igitur qui invenerit me, occidet me. 15 Dixitque ei Dominus: Nequaquam ita fiet: sed omnis qui occiderit Cain, septuplum punietur. Posuitque Dominus Cain signum, ut non interficeret eum omnis qui invenisset eum. 16 Egressusque Cain a facie Domini, habitavit profugus in terra ad orientalem plagam Eden. 17 Cognovit autem Cain uxorem suam, quæ concepit, et peperit Henoch: et ædificavit civitatem, vocavitque nomen ejus ex nomine filii sui, Henoch. 18 Porro Henoch genuit Irad, et Irad genuit Maviaël, et Maviaël genuit Mathusaël, et Mathusaël genuit Lamech. 19 Qui accepit duas uxores, nomen uni Ada, et nomen alteri Sella. 20 Genuitque Ada Jabel, qui fuit pater habitantium in tentoriis, atque pastorum. 21 Et nomen fratris ejus Jubal: ipse fuit pater canentium cithara et organo. 22 Sella quoque genuit Tubalcain, qui fuit malleator et faber in cuncta opera æris et ferri. Soror vero Tubalcain, Noëma. 23 Dixitque Lamech uxoribus suis Adæ et Sellæ: [Audite vocem meam, uxores Lamech; auscultate sermonem meum: quoniam occidi virum in vulnus meum, et adolescentulum in livorem meum. 24 Septuplum ultio dabitur de Cain: de Lamech vero septuagies septies.] 25 Cognovit quoque adhuc Adam uxorem suam: et peperit filium, vocavitque nomen ejus Seth, dicens: Posuit mihi Deus semen aliud pro Abel, quem occidit Cain. 26 Sed et Seth natus est filius, quem vocavit Enos: iste cœpit invocare nomen Domini.

Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
And it came to pass, while they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him." Ye see, brethren, how envy and jealousy led to the murder of a brother.
… is without blame, and worketh no evil --that God who reveals what is hidden [in the heart], but who worketh not evil--when Cain was by no means at rest, He saith to him: "To thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him." Thus did He in like manner speak to Pilate: "Thou shouldest have no power at …
