Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 1:8
This verse speaks of despairing of life due to the burden, while 2 Timothy 4:6 speaks of being ready to be offered and at peace with impending departure.
2 Corinthians 1:8: For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
Contradiction with Philippians 1:23-24
While Paul expresses a desire to depart and be with Christ, he also acknowledges the necessity to remain in the flesh for others, somewhat contrasting the readiness to depart in 2 Timothy 4:6.
Philippians 1:23-24: For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
Contradiction with Job 3:11
Job expresses a wish to have died at birth, which contradicts the acceptance and readiness for departure seen in 2 Timothy 4:6.
Job 3:11: Why died I not from the womb? [why] did I [not] give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
Contradiction with Jonah 4:3
Jonah asks for his life to be taken out of anger, which contrasts with the willing and purposeful offering up of life in 2 Timothy 4:6.
Jonah 4:3: Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for [it is] better for me to die than to live.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency with "2 Timothy 4:6" could be related to questions about authorship and timing. Some scholars debate whether the Apostle Paul actually wrote this letter, as parts of its style and vocabulary differ from his other letters. Additionally, the letter discusses events and situations that don't align perfectly with the timeline of Paul's life recorded in the Acts of the Apostles, leading to debate about whether it was written by someone else after his death.
