Contradiction with James 2:24
1 Thessalonians 1:3 emphasizes faith, love, and hope in Jesus Christ, while James 2:24 highlights justification by works and not by faith only, presenting a faith versus works contradiction.
James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Contradiction with Ephesians 2:8-9
1 Thessalonians 1:3 praises faith in action, yet Ephesians 2:8-9 states salvation is through grace and not works, which could seem contradictory regarding the role of works in faith.
Ephesians 2:8-9: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
Contradiction with Romans 3:28
While 1 Thessalonians 1:3 highlights work produced by faith, Romans 3:28 asserts that one is justified by faith without the deeds of the law, suggesting a potential contradiction between faith and action.
Romans 3:28: Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Contradiction with Galatians 2:16
1 Thessalonians 1:3 implies the importance of actions stemming from faith, but Galatians 2:16 specifies that a person is not justified by the works of the law, presenting a contrast on justification.
Galatians 2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
