who believe in that which hath been sent down unto thee, and that which hath been sent down unto the prophets before thee, and who observe the stated times of prayer, and give alms, and believe in God and the last day; unto these will we give a great reward.  Verily we have revealed our will unto thee, as we have revealed it unto Noah and the prophets who succeeded him; and as we revealed it unto Abraham, and Ismael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and unto Jesus, and Job, and Jonas, and Aaron, and Solomon; and we have given thee the Koran, as we gave the Psalms unto David:  some apostles have we sent, whom we have formerly mentioned unto thee; and other apostles have we sent, whom we have not mentioned unto thee; and God spake unto Moses, discoursing with him; apostles declaring good tidings, and denouncing threats, lest men should have an argument of excuse against God, after the apostles had been sent unto them; God is mighty and wise.  God is witness of that revelation which he hath sent down unto thee; he sent it down with his special knowledge:  the angels also are witnesses thereof; but God is a sufficient witness.  They who believe not, and turn aside others from the way of God, have erred in a wide mistake.  Verily those who believe not, and act unjustly, God will by no means forgive, neither will he direct them into any other way than the way of hell; they shall remain therein forever:  and this is easy with God.  O men, now is the apostle come unto you, with truth from your Lord; believe therefore, it will be better for you.  But if ye disbelieve, verily unto God belongeth whatsoever is in heaven and on earth; and God is knowing and wise.  O ye who have received the scriptures, exceed not the just bounds in your religion, neither say of God any other than the truth.  Verily Christ Jesus the son of Mary is the apostle of God, and his Word, which he conveyed into Mary, and a spirit proceeding from him.  Believe, therefore, in God, and his apostles, and say not, There are three Gods;[79] forbear this; it will be better for you.  God is but one God.  Far be it from him that he should have a son! unto him belongeth whatsoever is in heaven and on earth; and God is a sufficient protector.  Christ doth not proudly disdain to be a servant unto God; neither the angels who approach near to his presence:  and whoso disdaineth his service, and is puffed up with pride, God will gather them all to himself, on the last day.  Unto those who believe, and do that which is right, he shall give their rewards, and shall superabundantly add unto them of his liberality:  but those who are disdainful and proud, he will punish with a grievous punishment; and they shall not find any to protect or to help them, besides God.  O men, now is an evident proof come unto you from your Lord, and we have sent down unto you manifest light.  They who believe in God and firmly adhere to him, he will lead them into mercy from him, and abundance; and he will direct them in the right way to himself.
