Cain is the only Biblical person mentioned in the book of 1 John. Cain had his sacrifice rejected and because of that rejection he murdered his brother. Now some have speculated that it was because he did not bring a blood offering but there was nothing to indicate that he should bring a blood offering. There were grain offerings as well as animal offerings. I don't believe it was because he brought a grain offering but it was because of his heart. God looks upon the heart and what was in his heart was shown when he had his offering rejected.
Some people may say that they have given God their best but it was not accepted. God doesn't want your best, He wants you. When the world offers God its best and it is rejected and the world sees the Christian have his offering accepted then the world despises the Christian.
