Contradiction with Matthew 7:1
This verse "Judge not, that ye be not judged" contradicts with 1 Corinthians 6:4 in that it advises against the practice of judgment, whereas 1 Corinthians 6:4 discusses appointing those to judge matters within the church.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Contradiction with James 4:12
This verse states "There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?" emphasizing that ultimately only God should judge, contradicting the notion of appointing judges among the congregation.
James 4:12: There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Contradiction with Romans 14:10
This verse asks, "But why dost thou judge thy brother?" suggesting that judgment between brethren should be avoided, creating a contradiction with the directive in 1 Corinthians 6:4 for church members to judge.
Romans 14:10: But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Contradiction with Matthew 18:15-17
This passage outlines a process of private correction for offenses, leading to community involvement only as a last resort, which may contradict the implied public judgment structure in 1 Corinthians 6:4.
Matthew 18:15-17: Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
Contradiction with James 5:9
Advises, "Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door" implying internal judgment could lead to condemnation, in contrast with the suggestion of internal judgment in 1 Corinthians 6:4.
James 5:9: Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. [Grudge not: or, Groan, or, Grieve not]
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction or conflict in this verse might be seen in how it discusses resolving disputes among believers. It advises seeking judgment within the community rather than relying on outsiders. Some might see a conflict here if outside judgment is considered more impartial or fair, raising questions about justice and the best way to handle disputes.
