Sahih International:

Indeed, those who have believed then disbelieved, then believed then disbelieved, and then increased in disbelief – never will Allah forgive them, nor will He guide them to a way. (An-Nisa [4] : 137)

1 Mufti Taqi Usmani

Surely, those who believed and then disbelieved, believed again and then disbelieved, then went on increasing in their disbelief - Allah is not to forgive them nor lead them on the path.
