Alma 39:1
On family dynamics: Alma starts into his council towards his son, Corianton, by what appears to be a comparison to his older brother. This isn't a comparison though. Rather this is guidance and a testimony of the power of "a good example".
There is a footnote here that I will delve into deeper tomorrow.

I have spent a small amount of time reviewing scripture that talk of example. I like how it is also equated with light, leadership, standard of righteousness, and pattern. We are commanded to be an example of what we believe.
In John 13, the Savior says, "For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you." Then two verses later, He adds " If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them." The relationship between testimony and conversion is thus put into its proper place here.
Why are we commanded to be an example of the believers? Why should we let our light shine before men that they can glorify God?
