{24:53} And they swear by God their strongest oaths that if you ordered them, they would go forth [in God's cause]. Say, "Do not swear. [Such] obedience is known. Indeed, God is Acquainted with that which you do."

I suggest,
{24:53} And they swear by God their earnest oaths that if you ordered them, they would go out [in God's cause]. Say, "Do not swear. Obedience will be recognizable. Verily, God is All-Aware of what you do."

Quote:
{24:54} Say, "Obey God and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away - then upon him is only that [duty] with which he has been charged, and upon you is that with which you have been charged. And if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided. And there is not upon the Messenger except the [responsibility for] clear notification."

I suggest,
{24:54} Say, "Obey God and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away - then upon him is what he was charged, and upon you is what you were charged. And if you obey him, you find guidance. And there is not upon the Messenger but clear notice."
