1 Corinthians 4:2
As stewards of the gospel of Jesus Christ, we must be faithful and trustworthy.
1 Corinthians 4:9-17
The apostles were specifically selected to be examples. However, being a good example applies to all of us. We each need to bless and edify others, patiently endure persecution, and follow Christ and His prophets. We all have the opportunity to associate with many people each day, and show them the light in our lives as a result of living the gospel.
Alma 39:11-12
It is not enough to just know what is right, you have to do what is right. These verses talk about how although Corianton had a knowledge of truth, his actions were not righteous. In effect, the Zoramites were led astray and would not believe Alma's words. I know a lot of people who, even though they attended church and seminary and knew the gospel, have made unrighteous decisions because of the strong influence and actions of their peers who participated actively in iniquity.
3 Nephi 8:1
When people live what they know, they are trusted. Others recognize their honesty, and that they are just. They can have the power to work miracles in the name of Christ, because they are cleansed from iniquity, showing that the Lord trusts them as well.
