Do Good to Please God
1 “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 Therefore, awhen you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
3 But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret awill Himself reward you openly.

Matthew 6:1-2
The term hypocrite is used here to refer to a person who does good acts for appearances only, not out of compassion or other good motives. So his actions may be good, but his motives are hollow and these empty acts are his only reward.
