Quote:
{98:1} Those who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists were not to be parted [from disbelief] until there came to them clear evidence -

The last phrase should be "the clear evidence."

Quote:
{98:2} A Messenger from God, reciting purified scriptures

I suggest,
{98:2} A Messenger from God, reciting purified scrolls

Quote:
{98:3} Within which are correct writings.

I suggest,
{98:3} In which are upright books.

The verb تأتيهم is the present tense, therefore I suggest this slight edit of the translation,

{98:1} Those who disbelieved among the People of the Book and the polytheists were not parting [from disbelief] until there comes to them clear evidence -
