Danny Coffin quotes his foster-father, Joshua Coffin, quoting:
"'The laborer is worthy of his hire...'" (p. 38) See here.
Now that we have started, we might as well make a note of every Biblical quotation in Poul Anderson's works. See Sean's article here and I have also searched this blog for "Biblical quotation" (see here; scroll down) but the search has not found every example. Searching for "Joshua Coffin" (scroll down) should bring up his quotations as well as other information. There are other key words and phrases, e.g., we had a few posts on What Is Truth?
Any further Biblical quotations from Coffin or anyone else can and probably will be addendumed to this round-up. In fact, see:

Kaor, Paul!
Thanks for referencing my note on Anderson's use of the Bible! Alas, as you know, I don't consider that one of my better efforts, mostly because of how it's almost impossible to track down everything Anderson quoted from the Scriptures. Indeed, PA has to be almost unique among SF writers in how often he used the Bible.
