[3:32] Say: 'Obey God, and the Messenger'. But if they turn their backs, God loves not the disbelievers.
He commanded them to obedience, and then He said, 'But if they turn their backs', i.e., fall short in obedience, acting in oppositional ways, then God loves not the disbelievers. He did not say 'the disobedient' (ʿāṣiyyūn) but rather 'the disbelievers' (kāfirūn), so the address indicates that he loves the believers even if they are disobedient.
