وَمَا يُلَقَّىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا۟ وَمَا يُلَقَّىٰهَآ إِلَّا ذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍ
Wam a yulaqq a h a ill a alla th eena s abaroo wam a yulaqq a h a ill a th oo h a thth in AAa th eem in
Yet [to achieve] this is not given to any but those who are wont to be patient in adversity: it is not given to any but those endowed with the greatest good fortune!
  - Mohammad Asad
But none will attain this quality except those who patiently endure and none will attain this quality except those who are truly fortunate.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
But this cannot be attained except by those who are patient and who are truly fortunate.
  - Mustafa Khattab
But none is granted it save those who are steadfast, and none is granted it save the owner of great happiness.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And no one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restraint none but persons of the greatest good fortune. 4506
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The moral standard referred to in the last verse can only be reached by the exercise of the highest patience and self-restraint. All sorts of human weaknesses and counsels of pseudo-wisdom and "self-respect" will keep breaking in, but resist them as suggestions of Evil (see next verse). If you reach anywhere near that high standard, you will be indeed most fortunate in a spiritual sense, for Allah's Revelation will have made you great and free.
