We heard the story:

that all the city was excited because of them; and the women said, “Is this Naomi?””

It has been fully reported to me, all that you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and have come to a people whom you did not know before.
The Lord repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.””
Ruth 2:11-12 NKJV
“Ruth the Moabitess said, “He also said to me, ‘You shall stay close by my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’ ”
And
Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “
It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and that people do not meet you in any other field.””
Ruth 2:21-22 NKJV
“And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you request,
for all the people of my town know that you are a virtuous woman.”

Beloved ones, how that all the city was excited because of them (Naomi and Ruth); we also have heard what has been fully reported to Boaz; how Boaz abled to testified for all the people of his town know that Ruth was a virtuous woman; it was because Naomi’s testimony about Ruth. In
her fervent love, Naomi has said to Ruth :
“Then
Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “
My daughter, shall I not seek security for you, that it may be well with you?”
Ruth 3:1 NKJV
Beloved ones, consider what apostle Paul said:
“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.”
Philippians 2:3 NKJV
In lowliness of mind Naomi esteem Ruth better than herself
and love her fervently.
What Naomi has done? This is what we have heard:
“Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit
in sincere love of the brethren,
love one another fervently with a pure heart,”
I Peter 1:22 NKJV
Naomi has have purified her soul in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of Ruth, love her fervently with a pure heart.
