"The Reward of Service “When thou makest a dinner or a supper,” said Christ, “call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: and thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.” [ Luke 14:12-14 .] GW 512"
"Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee."
The EGW passage directly quotes Luke 14:12 and continues to reference Luke 14:13-14. This is a clear and direct allusion.
"Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just."
Ellen White directly references Luke 14:12-14 in this passage.
"In these words Christ draws a contrast between the self-seeking practices of the world, and the unselfish ministry of which He has given an example in His own life. For such ministry He offers no reward of worldly gain or recognition. “Thou shalt be recompensed,” He says, “at the resurrection of the just.” Then the results of every life will be made manifest, and every one will reap that which he has sown. GW 512.2"
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
The EGW passage directly echoes the principle of reaping what you sow, as stated in Galatians 6:7, and applies it to the context of Christian ministry and reward.
"To every worker for God this thought should be a stimulus and an encouragement. In this life our work for God often seems to be almost fruitless. Our efforts to do good may be earnest and persevering, yet we may not be permitted to witness their results. To us the effort may seem to be lost. But the Saviour assures us that our work is noted in heaven, and that the recompense cannot fail. The apostle Paul, writing by the Holy Spirit, says, “Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” [ Galatians 6:9 .] And in the words of the psalmist we read, “He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” [ Psalm 126:6 .] GW 512.3"
"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
EGW directly quotes Galatians 6:9, making it an explicit allusion.
"He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him."
Ellen White directly references Psalms 126:6 in this passage.
"Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour."
Both passages discuss the concept of reward for labor, although 1 Corinthians 3:8 focuses on the individual reward for each person's work, while the EGW passage discusses the encouragement that comes from knowing God sees our work.
