Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

Surely many of them will be increased
by what has been sent to you from your Lord
in rebellion and unfaith,
and We have cast enmity and hatred amongst them
until the Day of Resurrection.
Every time they ignite the flames of war,
Allah puts them out.
They seek to cause corruption on the earth,
and Allah does not like the agents of corruption.
65 Had the People of the Book believed
and been Godwary,
We would surely have absolved them of their misdeeds
and admitted them into gardens of bliss.
66 Had they observed the Torah and the Evangel,
and what was sent down to them from their Lord,
they would surely have drawn nourishment
from above them and from beneath their feet.
There is an upright group among them,
but evil is what many of them do.

67 O Apostle!
Communicate that which has been sent down to you
from your Lord,
and if you do not,
you will not have communicated His message,
and Allah shall protect you from the people.
Indeed Allah does not guide the faithless lot.

68 Say, ‘O People of the Book!
You do not stand on anything
