Contradiction with 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." This verse suggests a passive response to wrongdoing, which might be viewed as conflicting with actively using "the armour of righteousness" mentioned in 2 Corinthians 6:7.
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 James 2:24
"Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." This could contradict 2 Corinthians 6:7, which emphasizes "the word of truth," suggesting faith and speech over actions for righteousness.
James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Contradiction with 1 John 1:8
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." This challenges the notion of the "word of truth" mentioned in 2 Corinthians 6:7 by indicating everyone is sinful and no one holds ultimate truth by themselves.
1 John 1:8: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Contradiction with Isaiah 64:6
"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags..." This contradicts with the emphasis on "the armour of righteousness" in 2 Corinthians 6:7 by suggesting human righteousness is inadequate.
Isaiah 64:6: But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
