Answer 2

In Christianity and Judaism, the curse of Cain and the mark of Cain refer to the passages in the Biblical Book of Genesis where God declared that Cain, the firstborn son of Adam and Eve, was cursed for murdering his brother, and placed a mark upon him to warn others that killing Cain would provoke the vengeance of God.

Job's story, told in the Old Testament Book of Job, is that of a God fearing man who is suddenly prostrated by a succession of calamities, which strips him of good, children and health. He remains steadfast throughout, and these disasters are then revealed to have been God's tests of his faith. Because of his endurance, Job is blessed by God, and his prosperity is made greater than before. The patience of Job thus became proverbial.

The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim, an ethical code, or a morality, that essentially states either of the following:
- One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself (positive form).
- One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated.

The Golden Rule has a long history, and a great number of prominent religious figures and philosophers have restated its reciprocal, bilateral nature in various ways (not limited to the above forms). As a concept, the Golden Rule has a history that long predates the term "Golden Rule" (or "Golden law", as it was called from the 1670s). The ethic of reciprocity was present in certain forms in the philosophies of ancient Babylon, Egypt, Persia, India, Greece, Judea, and China.
