Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 6:2
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Matt 6:2 · Douay-Rheims
“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.”
On this verse:
“(ubi sup.) This refers to what He had said above, Otherwise ye shall have no reward of your Father which is in heaven; and He goes on to shew them that they should not do their alms as the hypocrites, but teaches them how they should do them.”
