لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا۟ قَدْ كَفَرْتُم بَعْدَ إِيمَٰنِكُمْ ۚ إِن نَّعْفُ عَن طَآئِفَةٍۢ مِّنكُمْ نُعَذِّبْ طَآئِفَةًۢ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ
Laa ta'taziroo qad kafartum ba'da eemaanikum; in na'fu 'an taaa'ifatim minkum nu'az zib taaa'ifatam bi annahum kaanoo mujrimeen
Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after your belief. If We pardon one faction of you - We will punish another faction because they were criminals.
Tafsir
Scholars offer complementary perspectives
Make no excuses for that. You have disbelieved after believing that is your disbelief has become manifest even as you have manifested belief. If We forgive read passive yu‘fa ‘it is forgiven’ or active first person plural na‘fu ‘We forgive’ a party of you because of its sincerity and its repentance as in the case of Jahsh b. Humayyir We will chastise read either passive tu‘adhdhab ‘it shall be chastised’ or nu‘adhdhib another party because they were sinners’ persisting in hypocrisy and mockery.
