Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 12:21
This verse indicates that members of the body cannot say they do not need each other, contrasting with the part of 12:15 where one part can claim it does not belong.
1 Corinthians 12:21: And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
Contradiction with Romans 12:4
This verse states that all members do not have the same office, implying different roles, but 1 Corinthians 12:15 suggests a possible disassociation from the body despite all parts' importance.
Romans 12:4: For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
Contradiction with Ephesians 4:16
This verse emphasizes every part working together for growth, in contradiction to 1 Corinthians 12:15 where a part suggests it might not belong.
Ephesians 4:16: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Paradox #1
The moral inconsistency in that verse might be seen in the context of individuality versus community. While the verse emphasizes the importance of every member having a unique role in the community (like a body), it could be perceived as conflicting with the idea that everyone should sacrifice personal identity for the sake of the group. Some might see a tension between maintaining individual value and conforming to a collective purpose.
