{22:14} Indeed, God will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds to gardens beneath which rivers flow. Indeed, God does what He intends.

I suggest,
{22:14} Verily, God admits those who have believed and done the righteous [deeds] to gardens flowing beneath which are the rivers. Verily, God does what He wants.

Quote:
{22:15} Whoever should think that God will not support [Prophet Muhammad] in this world and the Hereafter - let him extend a rope to the ceiling, then cut off [his breath], and let him see: will his effort remove that which enrages [him]?

This verse will be unclear unless exegesis is used to interpret it. However, an interpretation is an interpretation and it will confine the meaning of the verse to that one interpretation. We do not wish to do this in this project. Therefore, I simply suggest a translation without interpretation:
{22:15} Whoever should think that God will not support him in [this] the nearest [life] and the Hereafter, then let him extend a means to the sky and then cut off then let him look: Does his scheming surely dismiss what frustrates [him]?

Quote:
{22:16} And thus have We sent the Quran down as verses of clear evidence and because God guides whom He intends.

I suggest,
{22:16} And thus have We sent it (the Quran) down as clear signs and because God guides whom He wants.
