{63:1} When the hypocrites come to you, [O Muhammad], they say, "We testify that you are the Messenger of God." And God knows that you are His Messenger, and God testifies that the hypocrites are liars.

I suggest,
{63:1} When the hypocrites come to you, [O Muhammad], they say, "We testify that you surely are the Messenger of God." And God knows that you surely are His Messenger, and God testifies that the hypocrites surely are liars.

Quote:
{63:2} They have taken their oaths as a cover, so they averted [people] from the way of God. Indeed, it was evil that they were doing.

I suggest,
{63:2} They have used their oaths as a cover, so they shunned [people] from the way of God. Verily, it was evil that they were doing.

Quote:
{63:3} That is because they believed, and then they disbelieved; so their hearts were sealed over, and they do not understand.

I suggest,
{63:3} That is because they believed, and then they disbelieved; so it was sealed over their hearts, for they do not comprehend.

Quote:
{63:4} And when you see them, their forms please you, and if they speak, you listen to their speech. [They are] as if they were pieces of wood propped up - they think that every shout is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May God destroy them; how are they deluded?

I suggest,
{63:4} And when you see them, their bodies [may] impress you, and if they speak, you [may] listen to their speech. [They are] as if they were pieces of wood propped up - they think that every shout is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May God fight them; how far they are deluded!
