King Benjamin described the following characteristics of people who are filled with the Spirit of God: they will seek to live peaceably with one another (see Mosiah 4:13); they will fulfill their sacred family responsibilities (see vv. 14–15); they will succor the needy (see v. 16). (The word succor means to give aid, help, or relief.)
In verse 14 King Benjamin also teaches that fighting and quarreling between brothers and sisters is not necessarily a normal and healthy part of child development. Such contention may be normal for the “natural man,” but King Benjamin warned that the source of such contention is the devil.
