The labourer is worthy of his hire

[David FCC]

Need some help here guys.

I did a little work for a friend recently and was wanting to do it as a favour but he wanted to pay me for it and when I refused to take it he said "the labourer is worthy of his hire" Luke 10:7.

He says there is no comeback to that bit of scripture but there must be something about helping out a brother.

thanks in advance

David, your friend, while good intentioned, is hijacking that passage. If you desire to bless a friend freely, he should accept freely. Of course, this goes on the assumption there are no other variables involved, such as a previous work/business relationship that soured.

What she said. Tell him the work is a gift. If not just take the money to keep the peace. My granddad years ago use to pay ridiculous amounts of money for menial tasks that were hard for him but took only a few minutes for me. Such is life.
