Patristic A.D. 407
“Or, this is again a promise of a temporal reward; for as covetousness is thought to make many rich, He affirms on the contrary that righteousness rather makes rich, for He who loves righteousness possesses all things in safety.”
Catena Aurea: Gospel of Matthew, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Matthew 5:6
