You are indeed the best community that has ever been brought forth for [the good of] mankind. You enjoin what is good, and forbid what is evil, and you believe in God. If the People of the Book had also believed, it would have surely been better for them. Some of them are true believers, but most of them are disobedient.
شما بهترين امتى هستيد كه براى مردم پديدار شده‌ايد: به كار پسنديده فرمان مى‌دهيد، و از كار ناپسند بازمى‌داريد، و به خدا ايمان داريد. و اگر اهل كتاب ايمان آورده بودند قطعاً برايشان بهتر بود؛ برخى از آنان مؤمنند و[لى‌] بيشترشان نافرمانند.
