Contradiction with Matthew 5:10
This verse supports the idea of being blessed for righteousness' sake, aligning with 1 Peter 3:14 rather than contradicting it.
Matthew 5:10: Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Contradiction with 2 Timothy 3:12
This verse implies that suffering will come to those who live godly, which doesn't directly contradict but rather supplements the idea in 1 Peter 3:14.
2 Timothy 3:12: Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Contradiction with James 1:12
Also supports the notion of being blessed through enduring trials, in agreement with 1 Peter 3:14 rather than contradicting it.
James 1:12: Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in 1 Peter 3:14 could be that it encourages people to feel blessed when they suffer for doing good, which might seem to conflict with the idea that doing good should lead to positive outcomes and well-being. This teaching could be seen as inconsistent with the expectation that morally right actions are always rewarded in a tangible or immediate way.
