Contradiction with Matthew 6:1
This verse advises against doing deeds before men to be seen by them, while Colossians 3:17 encourages doing all in the name of the Lord, presenting a contrast between public display and Christ-focused living.
Matthew 6:1: Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. [alms: or, righteousness] [of your: or, with your]
Contradiction with Galatians 2:16
This verse emphasizes justification by faith and not by works, slightly conflicting with Colossians 3:17, which suggests that actions (deeds) be done in Jesus' name, creating tension between faith and action.
Galatians 2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Contradiction with James 2:17
This verse states that faith without works is dead, which can be seen as a contradiction to the emphasis in Colossians 3:17 on doing everything in word and deed through Jesus, highlighting differing views on faith and works.
James 2:17: Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. [alone: Gr. by itself]
Contradiction with Romans 4:5
Romans emphasizes belief over works for righteousness, which might oppose Colossians 3:17's holistic approach to doing everything (works and words) in the Lord's name.
Romans 4:5: But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
