Contradiction with Galatians 1:8
This verse emphasizes preaching a different gospel as accursed, suggesting that no alternative foundation, even from an angel, is valid. However, this is consistent rather than contradictory.
Galatians 1:8: But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Contradiction with John 14:6
Jesus claims to be the only way to the Father, aligning with the idea of Christ as the only foundation. This reaffirms rather than contradicts.
John 14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Contradiction with 1 Peter 2:6
Refers to Christ as a cornerstone, reinforcing rather than contradicting 1 Corinthians 3:11.
1 Peter 2:6: Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
Contradiction with Isaiah 28:16
Mentions a sure foundation laid by God in Zion, aligning with the message in Corinthians about Christ as the foundation.
Isaiah 28:16: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
Contradiction with Ephesians 2:20
States that Jesus Christ is the cornerstone, supporting the claim in Corinthians.
Ephesians 2:20: And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];
Contradiction with Matthew 16:18

Matthew 16:18: And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. [Peter: this name signifies a rock]
