"But Ruth replied, 'Don't urge me to leave you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me.' " Ruth 1:16-17
"Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:4
