4:171

یَٓا اَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لَا تَغْلُوا فٖی دٖینِكُمْ وَلَا تَقُولُوا عَلَى اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْحَقَّؕ اِنَّمَا الْمَسٖیحُ عٖیسَى ابْنُ مَرْیَمَ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُۚ اَلْقٰیهَٓا اِلٰى مَرْیَمَ وَرُوحٌ مِنْهُؗ فَاٰمِنُوا بِاللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِهٖۚ وَلَا تَقُولُوا ثَلٰثَةٌؕ اِنْتَهُوا خَیْرًا لَكُمْؕ اِنَّمَا اللّٰهُ اِلٰهٌ وَاحِدٌؕ سُبْحَانَهُٓ اَنْ یَكُونَ لَهُ وَلَدٌۘ لَهُ مَا فِی السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَا فِی الْاَرْضِؕ وَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ وَكٖیلًاࣖ

Translations

O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs

Saheeh International

O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not "Three" - Cease! (it is) better for you! - Allah is only One Allah. Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender
