And the Jews and the Christians say: We are the sons of Allah and His beloved ones. Say: Why does He then chastise you for your faults? Nay, you are mortals from among those whom He has created, He forgives whom He pleases and chastises whom He pleases; and Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and to Him is the eventual coming.
و جهودان و ترسايان گفتند: ما پسران خدا و دوستان اوييم. بگو: پس چرا شما را به گناهانتان عذاب مى‌كند؟ [چنين نيست‌] بلكه شما آدميانيد از آنها كه او آفريده است، هر كه را خواهد بيامرزد و هر كه را خواهد عذاب كند و خداى راست پادشاهى آسمانها و زمين و آنچه ميان آنهاست و بازگشت به سوى اوست.
