{33:21} There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of God an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in God and the Last Day and [who] remembers God often.

I suggest,
{33:21} Certainly, there has been for you in the Messenger of God a beautiful role model for one who hopes for [the pleasure of] God and the Final Day and [who] remembers God much.

{33:22} And when the believers saw the clans, they said, "This is what God and His Messenger promised us, and God and His Messenger spoke the truth." And it did not add to them but faith and acceptance.

Quote:
{33:23} Among the believers are men true to what they promised God. Among them is he who has fulfilled his vow [to the death], and among them is he who awaits [his chance]. And they did not alter [the terms of their commitment] by any alteration -

I suggest,
{33:23} Among the believers are men [who] have been true to what they pledged to God. Among them is he who has fulfilled his troth, and among them is he who awaits. And they did not replace [their pledges] [the slightest] replacement -

Quote:
{33:24} That God may reward the truthful for their truth and punish the hypocrites if He wills or accept their repentance. Indeed, God is ever Forgiving and Merciful.

I suggest,
{33:24} That God may recompense the truthful for their truthfulness and torment the hypocrites if He wills or relent toward them. Verily, God is ever Oft-Forgiving and Merciful.
