Augustine of Hippo
Catena Aurea · Matthäusevangelium 6
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in Heaven.
(Serm. in Mont. ii. 1.) That He adds, Otherwise ye shall not have your reward before your Father who is in heaven, signifies no more than that we ought to take heed that we seek not praise of men in reward of our works.
