Their reward or rewards in full?

Hi. In the Matthew 6:5 in the New International Version of the Bible, it is written:

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

Now, in the second part of this verse, can it be the phrase "their rewards" instead of "their reward"? I believe the word "reward" can be both countable and uncountable. Thank you in advance for your help.
