That your alms may be in secret: and your Father who sees in secret himself shall reward you openly.
All Commentaries on Matthew 6:4 Go To Matthew 6
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
This repaying or rewarding of good works, so often mentioned here by Jesus Christ, clearly evinces that good works are meritorious, and that we may do them with a view to a reward, as David did, propter retributionem. (Haydock)
