Alma repeats his definition of restoration (v. 13). Restoration returns like for like. Corianton’s repentance must follow this principle (v. 14). Alma suggests a course of action for Corianton that will begin to give him good works and presumably contribute to turning his heart toward good. He should be merciful, deal justly, judge righteously, and do good continually—do good because it will prepare him to become good. By turning toward Yahweh and doing good works, “ye shall have good rewarded unto you again.” Nevertheless, it is not the accumulation of good acts but rather the incorporation of good qualities in the character that allows for the restoration.
