158- Rather Allah lifted him (Jesus) to Himself, and indeed Allah is ever mighty wise
159- And none of the people of the book (Christians, Jews), but shall believe in him (Jesus as human messenger) before his death (During Jesus’ second return and then actual death), and the day of resurrection will be (Jesus) against them a witness.

164- And messengers We narrated to you from before, and messengers We did not narrate upon you, and spoke Allah to Moses in speeches. (for sure directly)

169- Except for the road to hell, abiding in it forever, and that was for Allah an easy-going.
170- Oh people have come to you the messenger (Muhammed (Pbuh)) with the truth from your God, so believe better for you, and if you disbelieve, then indeed for Allah what in the heavens and the earth, and Allah is ever knowing wise

So believe in Allah and His Messengers (Monotheism), and do not say “Three”, desist better for you, Allah is but One deity, Exalted to be for Him a son, for Him whatever in the heavens and earth, and sufficient is Allah a guardian.
172- Never will the Messiah be disdain (haughty) to be a servant (worshiper) of Allah, nor the nearby angels (who only praise Allah), and whoever disdains from His (Allah’s) worship and be arrogant, Will cram them to Him altogether
173- As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, Will render to them their wages and increase to them from His bounty, As for those who disdained and were arrogant, will torment them a painful torment, and they will not find for themselves who is lower (instead) than Allah, a guardian or helper.
