Paradox #1
2 Corinthians 4:11 talks about experiencing hardships and carrying the death of Jesus in our bodies so that his life may also be revealed in us. A possible contradiction could arise from the idea of enduring suffering intentionally or valuing suffering for spiritual reasons. Some people might find it inconsistent with the notion of seeking joy and avoiding pain as a natural human desire. They may see a conflict between willingly embracing suffering and the general moral aim of promoting well-being and happiness.
