For Reward?

Doing something for a reward is, well, just the way things work. It
works because God implemented that system a long, long time ago.

While His system works, we humans pervert it by expecting Godly
results from ungodly actions. Then, when we do not get what we want,
we blame God--and that has been around for a long, long time too.
  
Take care! Don't do your good deeds publicly, to be admired,
  because then you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.
  When you give a gift to someone in need, don't shout about it as the
  hypocrites do--blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to
  call attention to their acts of charity! I assure you, they have
  received all the reward they will ever get. But when you give to
  someone, don't tell your left hand what your right hand is doing.
  Give your gifts in secret, and your Father, who knows all secrets,
  will reward you. (Mat 6:1-4 NLT)
