for love

As a favor

For love means without payment or material compensation, purely for the satisfaction or affection involved: She doesn't do it for the money—she does it for love.

The phrase often appears in the negative construction not for love or money, meaning something cannot be obtained regardless of what incentives are offered: You can't find a good mechanic for love or money these days.
