Quote:
{42:13} He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein. Difficult for those who associate others with God is that to which you invite them. God chooses for Himself whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him].

I suggest,
{42:13} He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and what We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad,] and what We enjoined upon Abraham, Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not disband therein. Difficult for the associators [of others with God in worship] is what you invite them to. God selects for Himself whom He wills and guides to Himself whomever turns back [to Him].

Quote:
{42:14} And they did not become divided until after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord [postponing the penalty] until a specified time, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed, those who were granted inheritance of the Scripture after them are, concerning it, in disquieting doubt.

I suggest,
{42:14} And they did not disband except after knowledge had come to them - out of infringement amongst themselves. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord until a specified time, [judgment] would have been decreed between them. And verily, those who were made to inherit the Book after them are, concerning it, in disquieting doubt.
