(And ornaments of gold) and all the gold and silver utensils of their houses. (Yet all that would have been but a provision of the life of the world) yet all that would be but the stuff of the life of the world. (And the Hereafter) i.e. Paradise (with your Lord would have been for those who keep from evil) for those who ward off disbelief, idolatry and indecencies; this is much better than the stuff of the life of the world.

Al-Jalalayn Commentary
and ornaments gold in other words were it not for fear that a believer might disbelieve as a result of Our giving the disbeliever what has been mentioned We would have given him such luxuries since the affairs of this world represent no danger to Us and he the disbeliever would then have no share in the Bliss of the Hereafter. Yet surely wa-in in is softened from the hardened form inna all that would be nothing read lamā with the mā as extra; or read lammā to mean ‘but’ making the particle in for negation but the transient enjoyment of the life of this world enjoyed during it but then perishes and the Hereafter Paradise with your Lord is for the God-fearing.
