"We should not do as Cain did"
# brother
This refers to Cain's younger brother Abel.
# Why did he kill him? Because
John uses a question to teach his audience. This can be translated as a statement. AT: "He killed him because" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
# his works were evil and his brother's righteous
The words "works were" are also understood in the second phrase. AT: "Cain's works were evil and his brother's works were righteous" or "Cain did evil things and his brother did what was right" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
