'good' is used here to signify '(morally) good deeds'. 'good enough' means passable, as when you get an average grade in a course of study. With an average grade you can't say that you are a really good student, but you're good enough to pass the course.

0"for good" can also mean "permanently". I wonder whether there is some wordplay intended.
