﴿ وَلَكُمْ فِى ٱلْقِصَاصِ حَيَوٰةٌۭ يَٰٓأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ ﴾

“for, in [the law of] just retribution, O you who are endowed with insight, there is life for you, so that you might remain conscious of God!”

(And there is a life for you in retaliation) a continuation of existence and a lesson, (O men of understanding) those who possess sound minds among people, (that ye may ward off (evil)) that you may ward off killing one another for fear of retaliation.
