Surah Al-An'am Ayah 20

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ يَعْرِفُونَهُۥ كَمَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَبْنَآءَهُمُ ۘ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

In Saheeh International's English translation, Quran 6:20 says: “Those to whom We have given the Scripture recognize it<sup foot_note=196223>1</sup> as they recognize their [own] sons. Those who will lose themselves [in the Hereafter] do not believe.”
