Spanish term or phrase: camino del bien
I wonder if this could be expressed as "the right track" here. Some context:

Los interlocutores oficiales de Dios transmiten constantemente sus supuestas indicaciones que llevan por el camino del bien.

Thanks in advance for sharing your ideas.

path of righoutsness


Explanation:
In this case, the word "bien" appears in it's adjective form as "buen" with undefined genre.

"el buen camino" would translate into "the right path"

Th difference lies in whether it appear as an adjective or a substantive

Bien - substantive
Buen - adjective (undefined)
Bueno - adjective (male)
Buena - adjective (female)
