I tell you (pl.), they have already received their reward in that praising. There’s no other reward for them to hope-for/expect.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)

Because that is what is done by some people in the church and on the streets, who only want to elevate themselves by having people see the good they do. But truly I tell you, that people like that, in that people look well on what they do, that is all the wages they get.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
