{58:7} Have you not considered that God knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth? There is in no private conversation three but that He is the fourth of them, nor are there five but that He is the sixth of them - and no less than that and no more except that He is with them [in knowledge] wherever they are. Then He will inform them of what they did, on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed God is, of all things, Knowing.

I suggest,
{58:7} Have you not seen that God knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth? There is not a private conversation [between] three but that He is the fourth of them, nor five but that He is the sixth of them - nor less than that nor more but that He is with them wherever they are. Then He will inform them of what they did, on the Day of Resurrection. Verily, God is, of everything, Knowledgeable.

Quote:
{58:8} Have you not considered those who were forbidden from private conversation, then they return to that which they were forbidden and converse among themselves about sin and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger? And when they come to you, they greet you with that [word] by which God does not greet you and say among themselves, "Why does God not punish us for what we say?" Sufficient for them is Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the destination.

I suggest,
{58:8} Have you not seen those who were forbidden from conspiracy, then they returned to what they were forbidden from and conspired about sin, aggression and disobedience to the Messenger? And when they come to you, they greet you by what God has not greeted you and say among themselves, "If only God would torment us for what we say!" Sufficient for them is Gehenna (Hell) to singe in it; how wretched a destination!

Quote:
{58:9} O you who have believed, when you converse privately, do not converse about sin and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger but converse about righteousness and piety. And fear God, to whom you will be gathered.

I suggest,
{58:9} O you who have believed, when you confer with each other, do not confer about sin, aggression or disobedience to the Messenger but confer about goodness and piety. And watch out for God, to whom you will be gathered.

Quote:
{58:10} Private conversation is only from Satan that he may grieve those who have believed, but he will not harm them at all except by permission of God. And upon God let the believers rely.

I suggest,
{58:10} Verily, conspiracy is only from Satan that he may grieve those who have believed, but he will not harm them at all except by permission of God. And upon God let rely the believers.
