Contradiction with James 2:24
This verse suggests that a person is justified by works and not by faith only, which contrasts with the grace of God emphasized in 2 Corinthians 8:1.
James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Contradiction with Luke 6:38
This verse emphasizes giving will lead to receiving more abundantly, which can contrast the notion of grace alone mentioned in 2 Corinthians 8:1.
Luke 6:38: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Contradiction with Philippians 4:13
The focus on individual strength through Christ contrasts with the emphasis on God’s grace to the churches in 2 Corinthians 8:1.
Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Contradiction with Galatians 6:7
The principle of reaping what one sows contradicts the gift of grace highlighted in 2 Corinthians 8:1, as it implies a cause-and-effect relationship rather than unmerited favor.
Galatians 6:7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
