Contradiction with Matthew 10:28
People should not fear those who can only kill the body, implying spiritual courage over physical fear, which contrasts with Acts 5:26 where the apostles acted cautiously due to fear of the people.
Matthew 10:28: And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Contradiction with Proverbs 29:25
Fear of man brings a snare, suggesting that fearing people is a trap, opposing Acts 5:26 where actions are taken due to fear of the people.
Proverbs 29:25: The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. [safe: Heb. set on high]
Contradiction with Matthew 5:10-12
Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness, encouraging persecution for faith, whereas Acts 5:26 indicates a careful approach to avoid conflict with people.
Matthew 5:10-12: Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Contradiction with Galatians 1:10
Seeking to please people is contrary to serving Christ, differing from Acts 5:26 where actions are influenced by fear of the people.
Galatians 1:10: For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
