Contradiction with 1 Timothy 5:14
This verse encourages young women to marry, which contradicts 1 Corinthians 7:28's perspective on marriage not being without trouble.
1 Timothy 5:14: I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. [to speak...: Gr. for their railing]
Contradiction with Genesis 2:24
This verse promotes the union of marriage and the concept of two becoming one flesh, contradicting the notion of trouble in marriage suggested in 1 Corinthians 7:28.
Genesis 2:24: Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Contradiction with Proverbs 18:22
This verse states finding a wife is finding a good thing and obtaining favor from the Lord, contrasting with 1 Corinthians 7:28's view on the challenges of marriage.
Proverbs 18:22: [Whoso] findeth a wife findeth a good [thing], and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
Contradiction with Hebrews 13:4
This verse holds marriage in honor and the marital bed undefiled, which may contradict the implication of trouble in marriage from 1 Corinthians 7:28.
Hebrews 13:4: Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency could be seen in the idea that marriage is both a blessing and a potential source of trouble or distress. This can be confusing because marriage is often viewed as a positive and fulfilling commitment, yet the verse suggests that it might bring difficulties, which seems to conflict with the positive perception of marriage.
