룻기 3:10의 주석

[Your] earlier [kindness]. That you did for your mother-in-law.¹²When you abandoned your home and fortune to stay with your mother-in-law. Your last act of kindness, i.e., your willingness to marry an older man to perpetuate your late husband’s name is a greater sacrifice on your part.

Your latest deed of kindness is greater than the first: The point of the expression, “You latest deed of kindness is greater,” is that you performed with your very soul, as it says, “A kind soul benefits himself,” (Prov. 11:17) This latest act of kindness is even greater than your first acts for you shown that there is conversion for the sake of heaven without any conditions. You have shown that you did not follow the other men and that all your deeds are for the sake of God.
