Yusuf Ali's translation is used except as noted. For brevity, the entire verse is not quoted. The excluded text never changes the meaning of the included text.
===Commands to Believe in the Bible===
The following verses command those who hear the Qur'an to believe in the Bible, which they could not do if the Bible was corrupted.
===Jews and Christians to Use the Bible===
The context of the preceding verse is speaking to an unrighteous Jew, meaning that had he study Torah, he would not be unrighteous.
===Misc References===
The preceding verse states that Jews and Christians have the Bible in their possession. There is disagreement among translations whether the phrase "with them" should exist. This does not change the conclusion of the verse because it speaks in the present, and they could not find Muhammad in the Torah and Gospel if it were not with them.
The preceding verse tells Muslims to find common ground with Jews and Christians because of the Bible. This would be a strange thing to do if the Bible was corrupted.
This states the Torah or Old Testament was uncorrupted at the time of Jesus.
===No Book can Be Changed===
Muslims cite several verses as saying that the Bible was corrupted. However, these verses clearly refer to verbally changing Bible, either by their hypocrisy, actually misquoting the Bible, or simply disagreeing with what Muhammad ''thought'' the Bible says. Also, the people the Qur'an refers to are still alive at the time of the Qur'an's speaking, whereas those who corrupted the Bible must have been long dead.
The preceding verse may or may not refer to the Jews. Also, Moses was still alive here and would have corrected the corruption, if it was not oral.
