40:14

فَٱدْعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ

fa-id'ʿū l-laha mukh'liṣīna lahu l-dīna walaw kariha l-kāfirūna

So invoke Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion, although the disbelievers dislike it.

— Saheeh International

So call upon God and dedicate your religion to Him alone, however hateful this may be to the disbelievers:

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

So, call you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and the believers) upon (or invoke) Allâh making (your) worship pure for Him (Alone) (by worshipping none but Him and by doing religious deeds sincerely for Allâh’s sake only and not to show off and not to set up rivals with Him in worship), however much the disbelievers (in the Oneness of Allâh) may hate (it).

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
