Contradiction with Matthew 6:15
It contradicts 2 Corinthians 2:10 by stating that if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses, suggesting a condition to forgiveness not emphasized in 2 Corinthians 2:10.
Matthew 6:15: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Contradiction with Luke 17:3
It requires repentance for forgiveness, which contrasts with 2 Corinthians 2:10 where forgiveness is given without mention of repentance.
Luke 17:3: Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Contradiction with Mark 11:25
Implies forgiveness is a prerequisite for receiving forgiveness from God, differing from 2 Corinthians 2:10 which does not mention this.
Mark 11:25: And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Contradiction with Colossians 3:13
Emphasizes forgiving as Christ forgave, which may imply an extensive standard of forgiveness not explicitly stated in 2 Corinthians 2:10.
Colossians 3:13: Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye. [quarrel: or, complaint]
Contradiction with Matthew 18:35
Suggests forgiveness must be from the heart, adding a condition not present in 2 Corinthians 2:10.
Matthew 18:35: So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in 2 Corinthians 2:10 might arise from the act of forgiving someone who has done wrong. On one hand, the Bible encourages forgiveness, which promotes compassion and reconciliation. On the other hand, forgiving someone could be seen as letting them off the hook for their actions, which might seem unfair to those who have been hurt. This creates a tension between being merciful and ensuring justice is served.
