For it is written
The devil implies that his quote from the Psalms means Jesus will not be hurt if he is the Son of God. This can be stated clearly, as the UDB does. Alternate translation: "You will not be hurt, because it is written" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
it is written
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "the writer has written" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
