[3.187] When Allah took a covenant with those to whom the Book was given, (saying): 'You shall make it clear to the people, and not conceal it. ' But they threw it behind their backs and they bought with it a little price. Evil was what they bought.
[3.188] Do not think that those who rejoice in what they have brought and love to be praised for what they have not done do not think they will be secure from the punishment. And for them there is a painful punishment.
[3.189] To Allah belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. Allah has Power over all things.
[3.190] Surely, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are signs for those with minds.
[3.191] Those who remember Allah when standing, sitting, and on their sides, and contemplate upon the creation of the heavens and the earth (saying 'Lord, You have not created these in falsehood. Exaltations to You! Guard us against the punishment of the Fire. [3.192] Our Lord, whomsoever You admit into the Fire, You will have abased, and the harmdoers shall have no helpers.
[3.193] Our Lord, we have heard the caller calling to belief, "Believe in your Lord!" So we believe. Our Lord, forgive us our sins and acquit us of our evil deeds, and take us to You in death with the righteous.

[3.195] And indeed their Lord answers them: 'I do not waste the labor of any that labors among you, male or female you are from each other. And those who emigrated, and were expelled from their houses, those who suffered hurt in My way, and fought, and were killed those I shall surely acquit of their evil deeds, and I shall admit them to Gardens underneath which rivers flow. ' A reward from Allah, and Allah with Him is the best reward.
[3.196] Do not let the coming and going in the land of those who disbelieve delude you;
[3.197] a little enjoyment, then, their shelter is in Gehenna (Hell), an evil cradling.
[3.198] But for those who fear their Lord, for them shall be Gardens underneath which rivers flow, there they shall live for ever, a (goodly) hosting from Allah, and that which is with Allah is better for the righteous.
[3.199] There are some among the People of the Book who believe in Allah, and in what has been sent down to you, and what has been sent down to them, humble to Allah and do not buy with the verses of Allah a little price. Those, their wage shall be with their Lord. Allah is Swift at reckoning.
