<p style="text-align: justify;">The attributes of a righteous priesthood holder&mdash;peaceable, patient, gentle, humble, kind, honest, and loving&mdash;are like those of Christ and are identified in Galatians as &ldquo;the fruit of the Spirit&rdquo; (Galatians 5:22). President Spencer W. Kimball added, &ldquo;We must be selfless and give service, be thoughtful and generous. Our dominion must be a righteous dominion.&rdquo; Two examples from the Book of Mormon illustrate this style of leadership and stewardship in worthy men who bear the holy priesthood. The first example reveals the relationship of patriarch and prophet Lehi with his wife, Sariah, during a time of stress and difficulty; the second shows the future prophet, Nephi, chastising and forgiving his rude and rebellious brothers after their attempt to take his life. From these two examples we learn how to encourage another to develop his or her testimony, how to make a peaceful existence with siblings, and how to resolve conflict when sin is involved.</p>
