لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا۟ قَدْ كَفَرْتُم بَعْدَ إِيمَٰنِكُمْ ۚ إِن نَّعْفُ عَن طَآئِفَةٍۢ مِّنكُمْ نُعَذِّبْ طَآئِفَةًۢ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ
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.

(Make no excuse) for what you said. (Ye have disbelieved after your (confession of) belief) while claiming you are believers. (If We forgive a party of you) i.e. Juhayr Ibn Humayr because he did not make fun of Allah or the Messenger but laughed with the others, (a party of you) Wadi'ah Ibn Judham and Jadd Ibn Qays (We shall punish because they have been guilty) because they were inwardly idolaters.
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
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.
