[Hence,] vie with one another in seeking to attain to your Sustainer’s forgiveness, 33 and [thus] to a paradise as vast as the heavens and the earth, which has been readied for those who have attained to faith in God and His Apostle: 34 such is the bounty of God which He grants unto whomever He wills - for God is limitless in His great bounty.

Commentary:
33 Sc., "rather than in striving for glory and worldly possessions": implying elliptically that no man is free from faults and transgressions, and hence everyone is in need of God’s forgiveness. (Cf. note 41 on 24:31.)
34 For a further qualification of the humility which characterizes true believers, see 3:133-135.
