Contradiction with Matthew 5:39
This verse advises to not resist evil and to turn the other cheek, which contradicts enduring control and abuse as criticized in 2 Corinthians 11:20.
Matthew 5:39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Contradiction with Galatians 5:1
This encourages believers to stand firm in freedom and not be burdened again by a yoke of slavery, opposing the submission mentioned in 2 Corinthians 11:20.
Galatians 5:1: Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Contradiction with James 4:7
Advises to resist the devil and he will flee from you, which contrasts with passively enduring evil as described in 2 Corinthians 11:20.
James 4:7: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Contradiction with Romans 12:2
Encourages renewal and transformation, suggesting change rather than the passive acceptance of domineering behavior indicated in 2 Corinthians 11:20.
Romans 12:2: And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Contradiction with Ephesians 6:10-11
Encourages believers to put on the armor of God to stand against the devil's schemes, which contradicts the submission to oppressive control mentioned in 2 Corinthians 11:20.
Ephesians 6:10-11: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Paradox #1
This verse has a contradiction because it criticizes people for accepting mistreatment or exploitation without standing up for themselves, even though other parts of the Bible encourage patience and turning the other cheek. This inconsistency can confuse readers about when to resist wrongdoing and when to remain passive.
