وَمَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍ وَلَـٰكِن ذِكْرَىٰ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ Qur’an Al-An'am (6:69)
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
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
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
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
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
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.
