al-Qurtubi says regarding the Verse (paraphrase):
ادفع بالتي هي أحسن السيئة أمر بالصفح ومكارم الأخلاق ؛ فما كان منها لهذه الأمة فيما بينهم فهو محكم باق في الأمة أبدا . وما كان فيها من موادعة الكفار وترك التعرض لهم والصفح عن أمورهم فمنسوخ بالقتال
As regards to the ruling of this Verse for what occurs between the members of the Muslim Ummah, then it will remain applicable forever.
As for that which was in it for acting nicely to the disbelievers and giving up resistance to them, then that has been abrogated by al-qitaal.
And al-Tabari writes
وذلك أمره إياه قبل أمره بحربهم
And that was His command to him (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) prior to His command to go to war with them.
