Bible verses about "excommunication" | MKJV

¹ And Adam knew Eve his wife. And she conceived and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from Jehovah. ² And she bore again, his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. ³ And in the end of days, it happened, Cain brought to Jehovah an offering of the fruit of the ground. ⁴ And Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat of it. And Jehovah had respect to Abel and to his offering, ⁵ but He did not have respect to Cain and to his offering. And Cain glowed with anger, and his face fell. ⁶ And Jehovah said to Cain, Why have you angrily glowed? And why did your face fall? ⁷ If you do well, shall you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin crouches at the door; and its desire is for you, and you shall rule over it. ⁸ And Cain talked with his brother Abel. And it happened when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him. ⁹ And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper? ¹⁰ And He said, What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries to Me from the ground. ¹¹ And now you are cursed more than the ground which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. ¹² When you till the ground, it will not again give its strength to you. And you shall be a vagabond and a fugitive in the earth. ¹³ And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear. ¹⁴ Behold! You have driven me out from the face of the earth today, and I shall be hidden from Your face. And I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth, and it shall be that anyone who finds me shall kill me. ¹⁵ And Jehovah said to him, Therefore whoever kills Cain shall be avenged seven times. And Jehovah set a mark upon Cain so that anyone who found him should not kill him. ¹⁶ And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah and lived in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. ¹⁷ And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch. ¹⁸ And Irad was born to Enoch. And Irad fathered Mehujael. And Mehujael fathered Methusael. And Methusael fathered Lamech. ¹⁹ And Lamech took two wives to himself. The name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah. ²⁰ And Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and with cattle. ²¹ And his brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those playing the harp and the organ. ²² And Zillah also bore Tubalcain, the hammerer of every engraving tool of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah. ²³ And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, wives of Lamech, listen to my speech. For I have killed a man because of my wound, and a young man because of my hurt. ²⁴ For Cain is avenged seven times, and Lamech seventy-seven times. ²⁵ And Adam knew his wife again. And she bore a son, and called his name Seth. For she said, God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain killed him. ²⁶ And there was also a son born to Seth, and he called his name Enos. Then men began to call upon the name of Jehovah.
