1.  *     The unbelievers of the People of the Book and the idolaters would never leave off; till the Clear Sign came to them,
 
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.
