Contradiction with 1 Timothy 1:7
This verse speaks of those desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm, contrasting with the confidence Paul expresses in his authority for edification.
1 Timothy 1:7: Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 13:10
Paul talks about using his authority for edification and not for destruction, which aligns rather than contradicts, therefore it's only a contrast in emphasis.
2 Corinthians 13:10: Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 8:9
Talks about liberty becoming a stumbling block to the weak, potentially contradicting the idea of confident authority if it leads to causing others to stumble.
1 Corinthians 8:9: But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. [liberty: or, power]
Contradiction with Galatians 5:13
Advises against using liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, which can contradict the confident exercise of authority if it is not rooted in service.
Galatians 5:13: For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Contradiction with James 3:1
Warns that teachers will face stricter judgment, which serves as a caution that balances the confidence expressed in authority.
James 3:1: My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. [condemnation: or, judgment]
