{5:7} And remember the favor of God upon you and His covenant with which He bound you when you said, "We hear and we obey"; and fear God. Indeed, God is Knowing of that within the breasts.

I suggest,
{5:7} And remember the favor of God upon you and His covenant which He covenanted you by - as you said, "We heard and we obeyed"; and watch out for God. Verily, God is All-Knowing of the pith of bosoms.

Quote:
{5:8} O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for God, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear God; indeed, God is Acquainted with what you do.

I suggest,
{5:8} O you who have believed, be upstanding for God, witnesses with equity, and let not incite you the animus of a people to not be just. Be just; it is nearer to piety. And watch out for God; verily, God is All-Aware of what you do.
