Contradiction with Jeremiah 9:23-24
These verses instruct that one should not glory in wisdom, might, or riches, but instead in understanding and knowing God, which contrasts with the idea of "let no man glory in men" in 1 Corinthians 3:21.
Jeremiah 9:23-24: Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise [man] glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty [man] glory in his might, let not the rich [man] glory in his riches:
Contradiction with James 4:16
This verse states that rejoicing in boasting is evil, which contrasts with the instruction in 1 Corinthians 3:21 to not boast in human leaders or achievements.
James 4:16: But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 10:17
This verse emphasizes that one should glory in the Lord, which can be seen as contrary to the notion of not glorying in human leadership as suggested in 1 Corinthians 3:21.
2 Corinthians 10:17: But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:2
Advises against doing charitable acts for the purpose of receiving glory from men, which could contrast with the broader implications of human glorification mentioned in 1 Corinthians 3:21.
Matthew 6:2: Therefore when thou doest [thine] alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [do not...: or, cause not a trumpet to be sounded]
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in this verse could be seen in how it contrasts with teachings about humility and not being overly proud or boastful. While the verse encourages believers to acknowledge their richness in wisdom and gifts, it could clash with the biblical encouragement to remain humble and not to place too much pride in worldly wisdom or things. This could create a tension between feeling empowered and remaining humble.
