Contradiction with Matthew 5:11-12
This verse supports rather than contradicts 1 Peter 4:14 by indicating blessedness for those who are reviled for Christ, offering a similar perspective rather than a contradiction.
Matthew 5:11-12: Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. [falsely: Gr. lying]
Contradiction with John 15:18
This verse suggests that being hated is a sign of alignment with Christ, which complements 1 Peter 4:14 instead of contradicting it.
John 15:18: If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.
Contradiction with James 1:2-3
This verse encourages viewing trials as joy for the testing of faith, aligning with 1 Peter 4:14 in acknowledging the value in suffering for Christ's sake.
James 1:2-3: My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; [temptations: or, trials]
Paradox #1
1 Peter 4:14 talks about being blessed when you are insulted for following Christ, as it means God's spirit is with you. A possible contradiction could be the idea of feeling blessed while experiencing negative situations like insults. This might seem at odds with the common belief that blessings should relate to positive experiences or comfort, not suffering.
