Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:10
This verse suggests that God examines the heart and rewards according to one's deeds, whereas 2 Corinthians 10:7 focuses on outward appearances and status in Christ.
Jeremiah 17:10: I the LORD search the heart, [I] try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his doings.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 16:7
This verse emphasizes that God looks at the heart, not outward appearances, which contrasts with 2 Corinthians 10:7's mention of judging by external appearances.
1 Samuel 16:7: But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. [outward...: Heb. eyes]
Contradiction with Matthew 23:28
Here, the outward appearance of righteousness is condemned while inward corruption is highlighted, contradicting the outward consideration in 2 Corinthians 10:7.
Matthew 23:28: Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Contradiction with John 7:24
This verse advises not to judge by appearances but to judge with righteous judgment, which opposes the superficial criteria mentioned in 2 Corinthians 10:7.
John 7:24: Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Contradiction with James 2:1-4
These verses warn against showing favoritism based on external appearances, contradicting the implication of outward judgment in 2 Corinthians 10:7.
James 2:1-4: My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.
