1 John 4:8: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Contradiction with James 1:13
God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man, seemingly conflicting with the idea of God's wrath leading to punishment.

Contradiction with John 3:17

John 3:17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Contradiction with Romans 8:1
Declares no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, which can be seen as contradicting the message of wrath.
Romans 8:1: [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:9
States that God is patient and not willing that any should perish, differing from the idea of wrathful retribution.
2 Peter 3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Paradox #1
Colossians 3:6 could raise questions about the idea of punishment from God, especially when balanced with the notions of love and forgiveness central to Christianity. Some might see a conflict between the depiction of God as loving and forgiving, and the idea of divine wrath or punishment. This can lead to discussions about how these concepts coexist within the teachings of the Bible.
