وَمَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍ وَلَـٰكِن ذِكْرَىٰ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ
Wam a AAal a alla th eena yattaqoona min h is a bihim min shayin wal a kin th ikr a laAAallahum yattaqoon a
for whom those who are conscious of God are in no wise accountable. Theirs, however, is the duty to admonish [the sinners],59 so that they might become conscious of God.
  - Mohammad Asad

This is a paraphrase of the elliptic expression wa-lakin dhikra ("however, an admonition").

Though righteous people will not be held responsible for wrongdoers' actions, yet it is their duty to admonish them; perhaps they may refrain from evil deeds.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Those mindful 'of Allah' will not be accountable for those 'who ridicule it' whatsoever- their duty is to advise, so perhaps the ridiculers will abstain.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Those who ward off (evil) are not accountable for them in aught, but the Reminder (must be given them) that haply they (too) may ward off (evil).
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
On their account no responsibility falls on the righteous but (their duty) is to remind them that they may (learn to) fear Allah. 892
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

"Evil to him who evil thinks," or evil does. Every man is responsible for his own conduct. But the righteous have two duties: (1) to protect themselves from infection, and (2) to proclaim God's truth, for even in the most unlikely circumstances, it is possible that it may have some effect.
