Contradiction with Jeremiah 1:5
This verse states that God knows and sanctifies individuals before they are born, which may contrast with the idea of being enabled by Christ after birth as suggested in 1 Timothy 1:12.
Jeremiah 1:5: Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. [ordained: Heb. gave]
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 1:27
This verse states that God chooses the foolish and weak things of the world, contrasting with the idea that Paul was specifically counted as faithful and enabled for ministry.
1 Corinthians 1:27: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
Contradiction with Philippians 4:13
This verse suggests that anyone can do all things through Christ, potentially conflicting with the special enabling mentioned in 1 Timothy 1:12.
Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Contradiction with Galatians 1:1
This verse emphasizes that Paul's apostleship was not from men but through Jesus Christ, which might appear contradictory to the personal empowerment and trust referred to in 1 Timothy 1:12.
Galatians 1:1: Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
Contradiction with Matthew 23:12
This verse states that whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted, which could be seen as contradictory to the notion of being expressly counted as faithful as in 1 Timothy 1:12.
Matthew 23:12: And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
