Jerome, on Matt 6:2

“Therefore when thou dost an almsdeed, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be honoured by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.”

“A reward not of God, but of themselves, for they receive praise of men, for the sake of which it was that they practised their virtues.”
