Simple English
When you give to the poor, don’t blow a trumpet in front of you. That’s what people who pretend do in the churches and on the streets. They want people to think they are great. I tell you the truth. That’s all the reward they will get.
Paraphrase
When you give to someone in need, don’t announce it like hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, hoping everyone will praise them. I’m telling you the truth: that applause is all the reward they’ll get.
