Verse (2:120)

The analysis above refers to the 120th verse of chapter 2 (sūrat l-baqarah):

Sahih International: And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion. Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only] guidance." If you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you would have against Allah no protector or helper.
