Contradiction with Matthew 5:39
Instead of avoiding lawsuits and wrongs, which 1 Corinthians 6:7 suggests, this verse advises to turn the other cheek, promoting peaceful forbearance rather than seeking justice through lawsuits.
Matthew 5:39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Contradiction with Luke 6:29
This verse encourages offering the other cheek if one is struck and giving one’s cloak if the coat is taken, suggesting absolute submission to wrongs, contrasting with the idea of avoiding lawsuits to address grievances.
Luke 6:29: And unto him that smiteth thee on the [one] cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not [to take thy] coat also.
Contradiction with Proverbs 25:8-9
Advises settling disputes quickly and discreetly, contrasting with 1 Corinthians 6:7, which promotes not even engaging in the disputes in the first place to avoid lawsuits.
Proverbs 25:8-9: Go not forth hastily to strive, lest [thou know not] what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
Contradiction with Exodus 21:24
Promotes the principle of "an eye for an eye," encouraging seeking justice and retribution, opposing the idea in 1 Corinthians 6:7 of avoiding legal recourse for disputes.
Exodus 21:24: Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in this verse could arise from the idea of accepting wrongs or being cheated without seeking justice. It might seem conflicting with the natural desire for fairness and the moral teaching that wrongdoers should face consequences. Essentially, it asks individuals to prioritize peace over personal justice, which can be seen as inconsistent with the principle of holding others accountable for their actions.
