Contradiction with Acts 10:34
This verse states that "God is no respecter of persons," which could seem to contradict the idea in 1 Peter 1:1, where specific groups (strangers) are addressed, implying divine selection.
Acts 10:34: Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Contradiction with Galatians 3:28
This verse emphasizes equality in Christ, whereas 1 Peter 1:1 distinguishes recipients as "strangers scattered," suggesting distinction.
Galatians 3:28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Contradiction with James 1:1
Similar to 1 Peter 1:1 in addressing a scattered audience, it could be seen as contradicting the uniqueness of Peter's address by presenting a similar message from a different apostle.

Contradiction with Matthew 28:19
This verse instructs to teach all nations, potentially contradicting the more specific audience of 1 Peter 1:1 which is directed to the "strangers scattered."
Matthew 28:19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [teach...: or, make disciples, or, Christians of all nations]
