وَإِنْ الرَّجُلَيْنِ لَا يَسْتَوِيَانِ فِي أَعْمَالِ الْبِرِّ
And indeed, the two men are not equal in deeds of righteousness,
يَسْتَوِيَانِ — are equal. This is a present-tense verb with a DUAL subject ('the two of them') folded into its ending, a form English lacks. With the preceding negation it reads 'the two are not equal'. The dual ending matches the dual subject named before.
