Ruth 1:14 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Kissed — Departed from her with a kiss. Bade her farewell for ever. She loved Naomi, but she did not love her so well, as to quit her country for her sake. Thus many have a value for Christ, and yet come short of salvation by him, because they cannot find in their hearts, to forsake other things for him. They love him, and yet leave him, because they do not love him enough, but love other things better.

Ruth 1:14

14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.
