وأما الثواب فأيِّس منه ولا تأمن العقاب إلا بمثاب
As for reward, give up hope of it, and do not feel safe from punishment except through repentance.
بِمَثَابٍ — with a recompense. The 'bi-' marks the one safeguard the exception allows — 'by a returning [to God] / repentance,' indefinite, in the -i form. The only security against punishment: turning back. Otherwise, no safety from logic's spiritual peril.
