“Ye Should Do That Which Is Good”

Brant Gardner

Helaman uses the description of “good” that was attached to the works of the first Nephi and Lehi to now charge his sons to similarly “do that which is good.” For Helaman, the “good” is inextricable from the gospel. Just was Nephi and Lehi were righteous men, so to are these later namesakes to be similarly righteous, to be “good” in the spiritual sense rather than simply in a social context.
