Contradiction with Luke 6:27
Instead of vengeance, this verse advises to love your enemies, contrasting with the themes of retribution and judgment found elsewhere in the Bible.
Luke 6:27: But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Contradiction with Romans 12:17
Advises against repaying evil for evil, which contrasts with the idea of responding to wrongdoing implied by "wickedness proceedeth from the wicked."
Romans 12:17: Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Contradiction with Proverbs 24:29
Encourages not to say "I will do to him as he hath done to me," challenging the notion of reciprocal actions suggested in some interpretations of 1 Samuel 24:13.
Proverbs 24:29: Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:39
Advises to not resist evil, in contrast to the suggestion that responding with kindness may not fit the verse's implication about the outcomes of wickedness.
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 James 4:12
Emphasizes that there is only one lawgiver and judge, which contrasts with human judgment implied in responding to wickedness.
James 4:12: There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Paradox #1
The contradiction in this verse might arise from the idea that it emphasizes leaving judgment to God instead of taking revenge, yet the broader biblical context shows instances where violence and revenge are depicted and sometimes commanded. This could seem inconsistent with the message of restraint and non-retaliation.
