| 1 | The unbelievers of the People of the Book and the idolaters would never leave off; till the Clear Sign came to them, | Sura 98:6-7 appears on Pascal's Wager is Safer in Reverse: Picking a Religion is Dangerous Business: 3.3. The Islamic Qur'an - Worshipping the Wrong God (Especially Trinitarian Ones) is a Ticket to Hell. |
| 2 | a Messenger from God, reciting pages purified, | |
| 3 | therein true Books. | |
| 4 | And they scattered not, those that were given the Book, excepting after the Clear Sign came to them. | |
| 5 | They were commanded only to serve God, making the religion His sincerely, men of pure faith, and to perform the prayer, and pay the alms -- that is the religion of the True. | |
| 6 | The unbelievers of the People of the Book and the idolaters shall be in the Fire of Gehenna, therein dwelling forever; those are the worst of creatures. | |
| 7 | But those who believe, and do righteous deeds, those are the best of creatures; | |
| 8 | their recompense is with their Lord-Gardens of Eden, underneath which rivers flow, therein dwelling for ever and ever. God is well-pleased with them, and they are well-pleased with Him; that is for him who fears his Lord. |
