Marked words appear in this translation and in no other English translation of this verse. Common small words and older spellings are not marked. The marks show where the wording differs, not where the meaning does.
And they say, "None will enter Heaven unless he is a Jew or a Christian." These are their wishes. Say, "Produce your proof, if you are truthful."

Ata thonë: "Askush nuk do të hyjë në Xhenet përveç hebrenjve ose të krishterëve." Këto janë vetëm dëshirat e tyre boshe. Thuaju: "Atëherë sillni provat tuaja, nëse është e vërtetë ajo që thoni!"
আর তারা বলে: ‘ইয়াহূদী অথবা খৃস্টান ছাড়া অন্য কেউ কখনো জান্নাতে প্রবেশ করবে না।’ আসলে এটা তাদের মিথ্যা অলীক আশা মাত্র। তাদেরকে বলো: ‘যদি তোমরা সত্যবাদী হও, তবে তোমাদের দাবির স্বপক্ষে প্রমাণ পেশ করো।’
Oni govore: "U Džennet neće ući niko osim onoga ko bude židov ili kršćanin!" To su puste želje njihove. Reci: "Dajte svoj dokaz, ako istinu govorite!"
Oni govore: "U Raj neće ući nitko osim onoga ko bude židov ili kršćanin!" To su puste želje njihove. Reci: "Dajte svoj dokaz, ako istinu govorite!"

და ამბობენ ისინი [იუდეველები და ქრისტიანები]: «ვერავინ შევა სამოთხეში, გარდა იმათისა, ვინც იუდეველია ან ქრისტიანი». ეს მათი ოცნებებია (ცარიელი მტკიცებები). უთხარი (ო, მოციქულო): «მოიტანეთ თქვენი მტკიცებულებები, თუ მართალნი ხართ (თქვენს განცხადებებში)!»
Und sie sagen: „Niemand wird in den (Paradies)garten eingehen außer, wer Jude(n) oder Christen sind.“ Dies sind ihre Wünsche. Sag: „Bringt euren Beweis vor, wenn ihr wahrheitssprechend seid!“
Και (οι Εβραίοι και οι Χριστιανοί) είπαν: «Κανείς δεν θα εισέλθει στον Παράδεισο, παρά κάποιος που είναι Εβραίος (έτσι ισχυρίστηκαν οι Εβραίοι) ή Χριστιανός (έτσι ισχυρίστηκαν οι Χριστιανοί)!» Αυτές είναι οι (ψεύτικες) επιθυμίες τους. Πες (ω, Μωχάμμαντ): «Παρουσιάστε τις αποδείξεις σας, αν είστε αλήθεια ειλικρινείς.»
तथा उन्होंने कहा जन्नत में हरगिज़ नहीं जाएँगे, परंतु जो यहूदी होंगे या ईसाई।[53] ये उनकी कामनाएँ ही हैं। (उनसे) कहो : लाओ अपने प्रमाण, यदि तुम सच्चे हो।
E dissero: “Non entrerà in Paradiso se non chi è ebreo o nazareno. Quelli sono i loro desideri!” Di’: “Mostrate le prove, se siete veritieri!”
111. Ir jie sako: „Niekas neįžengs į Rojų, nebent jis bus judėjas arba krikščionis.“ Tai tėra troškimai. Sakyk (Muchammedai ﷺ ): „Pateikite savo įrodymus, jei esate teisūs.“
"Nama yahuudaa yookiin kiristaana ta’e malee jannata hin seenu” jedhan. Kun hawwii kijibaa isaaniiti. “Yoo kan dhugaa dubbattan taataniif ragaa keessan fidaa" jedhi.[40]
Они сказали: «Никогда не войдёт в Рай никто, кроме тех, кто был иудеем или христианином». Это — их пустые мечтания. Скажи: «Приведите своё доказательство, если вы говорите правду».
Они говоре: "У Рај неће ући нико осим онај ко буде Јевреј или хришћанин!" То су пусте жеље њихове. Реци: "Дајте свој доказ, ако истину говорите!"
Na walisema: 'Hataingia Peponi ila Myahudi au Mkristo.' Hayo ni matamanio yao. Sema: Leteni ushahidi wenu kama nyinyi ni wakweli.
Och de säger: ”Ingen kommer att få träda in i paradiset utom judar och kristna!” Detta är vad de inbillar sig. Säg: ”Hämta ert bevis, om ni talar sanning!”
(Ehl-i kitap:) Bir de; “Yahudi ve Hristiyanlardan başkası Cennet’e giremeyecek” dediler. Bu, onların kuruntusudur. De ki: “Eğer doğru söylüyorsanız (iddianızı ispat edecek) delilinizi getirin.”
یہ کہتے ہیں کہ جنت میں یہود ونصاریٰ کے سوا اور کوئی نہ جائے گا، یہ صرف ان کی آرزوئیں ہیں، ان سے کہو کہ اگر تم سچے ہو تو کوئی دلیل تو پیش کرو۔[1]
5 cleared translations, newest first, by year of publication, so the modern English comes before the historical ones. That is an ordering by date, not a judgement. Each is shown complete — this platform never excerpts a translation — and each renders under its translator's name. No translation here is marked as the correct one.
Which translations appear here is set by copyright: they are the ones whose rights could be documented and cleared. The selection is not a judgement that these are the best.
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The translators word this verse differently
Many of the People of the Book wish to turn you back into unbelievers after you have believed, out of envy on their part, after the Truth has become clear to them. But pardon and overlook, until God brings His command. God has power over all things.
Many of the people of the Scripture long to make you disbelievers after your belief, through envy on their own account, after the truth hath become manifest unto them. Forgive and be indulgent (toward them) until Allah give command. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things
Many of those who have the Book would fain turn you back into misbelievers after ye have once believed, through envy from themselves, after the truth has been made manifest to them; but pardon and shun them till God brings His command; verily, God is mighty over all
Many of the people of the Book desire to bring you back to unbelief after ye have believed, out of selfish envy, even after the truth hath been clearly shewn them. But forgive them, and shun them till God shall come in with His working. Truly God hath power over all things
Many of those unto whom the scriptures have been given, desire to render you again unbelievers, after ye have believed; out of envy from their souls, even after the truth is become manifest unto them; but forgive them, and avoid them, till God shall send his command; for God is omnipotent

And perform the prayer, and give alms. Whatever good you forward for yourselves, you will find it with God. God is Seeing of everything you do.
Establish worship, and pay the poor-due; and whatever of good ye send before (you) for your souls, ye will find it with Allah. Lo! Allah is Seer of what ye do
Be ye steadfast in prayer, and give alms; and whatsoever good ye send before for your own souls, ye shall find it with God, for God in all ye do doth see
And observe prayer and pay the legal impost: and whatever good thing ye have sent on before for your soul's sake, ye shall find it with God. Verily God seeth what ye do
Be constant in prayer, and give alms; and what good ye have sent before for your souls, ye shall find it with God; surely God seeth that which ye do

The translators word this verse differently
In fact, whoever submits himself to God, and is a doer of good, will have his reward with his Lord-they have nothing to fear, nor shall they grieve.
Nay, but whosoever surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good, his reward is with his Lord; and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve
Aye, he who resigns his face to God, and who is kind, he shall have his reward from his Lord, and no fear shall be on them, and they shall not grieve
But they who set their face with resignation Godward, and do what is right, - their reward is with their Lord; no fear shall come on them, neither shall they be grieved
Nay, but he who resigneth himself to God, and doth that which is right, he shall have his reward with his Lord; there shall come no fear on them, neither shall they be grieved

The Jews say, "The Christians are not based on anything;" and the Christians say, "The Jews are not based on anything." Yet they both read the Scripture. Similarly, the ignorant said the same thing. God will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding their differences.
And the Jews say the Christians follow nothing (true), and the Christians say the Jews follow nothing (true); yet both are readers of the Scripture. Even thus speak those who know not. Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they differ
The Jews say, 'The Christians rest on nought;' and the Christians say, 'The Jews rest on nought;' and yet they read the Book. So, too, say those who know not, like to what these say; but God shall judge between them on the resurrection day concerning that whereon they do dispute
Moreover, the Jews say, "The Christians lean on nought:" "On nought lean the Jews," say the Christians: Yet both are readers of the Book. So with like words say they who have no knowledge. But on the resurrection day, God shall judge between them as to that in which they differ
The Jews say, the Christians are grounded on nothing; and the Christians say, the Jews are grounded on nothing: Yet they both read the scriptures. So likewise say they who know not the scripture, according to their saying. But God shall judge between them on the day of the resurrection, concerning that about which they now disagree

These figures count the words the translations share. They measure wording, not meaning, and they do not say which translation is right.
Derived measure: mean pairwise Jaccard distance over the lowercased word sets of the 5 renderings above — 0.65 on a scale where 0 means identical wording and 1 means no shared words. It is computed, not judged.
The page says a verse is worded differently only above the cut below. The cut is a stated convention, not a property of the text, and it can be changed.
One bar per pair of renderings, longest bar for the pair sharing fewest words. Every pair is shown; none is singled out.
The platform does not say which is right, and does not characterise what the difference means. The renderings are placed together so the difference is visible; reading it is the reader's work.

7 sources stand behind this page. Each is listed once, in the order the page first cites it, with the licence it was cleared under and what was actually read. Nothing on this page rests on a source that is not here.
CLEARED. Licence read verbatim from the block embedded in this very file. Ingested exactly as shipped: no normalisation, no stripping of marks, no Unicode recomposition.
CLEARED on a licence read first-hand from the translator's own download page, not from an aggregator. Tanzil also hosts this translation, but under a blanket "non-commercial purposes only" term that directs the user to the translator or publisher for permission - a hosting disclaimer, not a grant - so the grant was taken from the licensor directly. The "God" edition was ingested; ClearQuran also publishes an "Allah" edition, differing in how the divine name is rendered, which is not ingested.
CLEARED ON THE WORK, WITH TWO RECORDED CAVEATS ON THIS COPY. (1) Rights basis is the expired copyright term, NOT the redistributing repository's licence. That repository dedicates its contents to the public domain under the Unlicense while also redistributing plainly in-copyright translations (Abdel Haleem, Saheeh International, The Study Quran), so it is dedicating rights it cannot hold and its blanket grant is not relied upon here. (2) The file declares its own upstream as tanzil.net, and Tanzil attaches a non-commercial condition to its TRANSLATION distributions, though not to its Qur'anic text. Since Pickthall's copyright has expired, nobody holds rights in these words and no licence is required from anyone; Tanzil's terms are a contract binding those who download from Tanzil, which we did not. The chain is nonetheless not spotless and Anwar may prefer a clean digitisation of the 1930 printing. NOT VERIFIED: that this digital text matches the 1930 first printing rather than a later revised edition. No page images were collated. Recorded as unverified rather than presented as established. SERVED TEXT DIFFERS FROM THE CITED FILE AT ONE VERSE, 37:97: the file reads "red-hotfire" (a glued token, also in Gutenberg #16955); the served row reads "red-hot fire", restored 2026-09-13 from Pickthall, The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (London: George Allen & Unwin, printed for Alfred A. Knopf; 1930), p. 460, XXXVII 97 - scan archive.org in.ernet.dli.2015.216140, PDF page 475; banked data/derivation-sources/pickthall-1930-dli-2015.216140-text.pdf (sha256 70e81146c97fa3a590243a82e04e349108546074787e2551a78c616202138870) on Anwar Malik's grant.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. The digital edition's upstream is not stated by the redistributor and the printing is unverified. No statement of purpose is recorded for Palmer because none was sourced from his own preface in this pass; nothing is asserted on his behalf.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. TWO edition caveats. (1) The upstream is not stated by the redistributor. (2) Rodwell's own edition PRESENTS THE SURAHS IN HIS OWN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, not the mushaf order — he says so in his preface. This digital text is keyed to mushaf order, so it derives from a restored-order printing (such as the Everyman edition) rather than from Rodwell's own arrangement. Which printing is not stated and has not been established.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. The digital edition's upstream is NOT STATED by the redistributor, so the printing it represents is unverified; Sale's text was reprinted and re-edited many times between 1734 and 1900. Recorded as unverified rather than assumed to be the first edition.
CLEARED. Parallel edition, held in ayah_text_variants. It sits alongside the Uthmani spine for search normalisation and is never used to correct it.
