say o followers of the bible! you have no valid ground for your beliefs unless you observe the torah and the gospel and all that has been bestowed from on high upon you by your sustainer! yet all that has been bestowed from on high upon thee by thy sustainer is bound to make many of them yet more stubborn in their overweening arrogance and in their denial of the truth. but sorrow not over people who deny the truth for verily those who have attained to faith as well as those who follow the jewish faith and the sabians and the christians all who believe in god and the last day and do righteous deeds no fear need they have and neither shall they grieve.
قل يا أهل الكتاب لستم على شيء حتى تقيموا التوراة والإنجيل وما أنزل إليكم من ربكم وليزيدن كثيرا منهم ما أنزل إليك من ربك طغيانا وكفرا فلا تأس على القوم الكافرين إن الذين آمنوا والذين هادوا والصابئون والنصارى من آمن بالله واليوم الآخر وعمل صالحا فلا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون
