And may the LORD make it possible for each of you to marry again and have a home." So Naomi kissed them good-bye. But they started crying

In the case of an engaged couple who have decided not to marry: if the man feels that he is not acting properly toward the young woman and if his passions are too strong and he feels that they ought to marry, then they should get married, as he wants to. There is no sin in this.

But if any do not take care of their relatives, especially the members of their own family, they have denied the faith and are worse than an unbeliever.

He gave the poor a fair trial, and all went well with him. That is what it means to know the LORD.
