Contradiction with Romans 6:14
This verse states "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace," which can be seen as contradicting the call for specific sanctification, suggesting freedom from strict adherence to laws in favor of grace.
Romans 6:14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Paradox #1
1 Thessalonians 4:3 focuses on living a holy life, particularly with regard to sexual morality. A possible contradiction or inconsistency might arise when comparing this teaching with cultural or personal values regarding sexual freedom and autonomy. Some may argue that strict adherence to this verse conflicts with contemporary views on individual rights and expression in matters of sexuality.
