Grammar Rules

Conjunction وَ (and)
وَلَوْلَا (And if not) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Conditional (if/when)
وَلَوْلَا (And if not) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".
We translate it as "if" or "when".

Sahih International

And if it had not been for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy in this world and the Hereafter, you would have been touched for that [lie] in which you were involved by a great punishment
