Pickthal	(Saying): If ye do good, ye do good for your own souls, and if ye do evil, it is for them (in like manner).

JM Rodwell	We said, "If ye do well, to your own behoof will ye do well: and if ye do evil, against yourselves will ye do it. And when the menace for your latter crime came to be inflicted, then we sent an enemy to sadden your faces, and to enter the temple as they en

Asad	[And We said:] "If you persevere in doing good, you will but be doing good to yourselves; and if you do evil, it will be [done] to yourselves."
