James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Contradiction with Ephesians 2:8-9
Deuteronomy 9:27 implies that God remembers and acts on the basis of righteousness, while Ephesians 2:8-9 states that salvation is not based on works or remembered deeds, but is a gift from God.
Ephesians 2:8-9: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
Contradiction with Romans 3:28

Romans 3:28: Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Contradiction with Galatians 3:11
Deuteronomy 9:27 underscores remembrance of patriarchs' righteousness, but Galatians 3:11 claims that no one is justified by the law and righteousness is through faith.
Galatians 3:11: But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, [it is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Contradiction with Romans 4:2-3
Deuteronomy 9:27 focuses on God remembering righteousness, conflicting with Romans 4:2-3 where it’s asserted that Abraham's righteousness was not by works but by faith.
Romans 4:2-3: For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath [whereof] to glory; but not before God.
Paradox #1
The possible contradiction of Deuteronomy 9:27 could relate to differences in the portrayal of events or characters in other parts of the Bible. For example, the Israelites' history and the recounting of their journey and relationship with God might differ in other biblical texts, leading to inconsistencies in the narrative or interpretation. Additionally, variations in emphasis on certain figures or promises mentioned might create contrasting views across different books.
Paradox #2
Deuteronomy 9:27 talks about God's promise to the ancestors of the Israelites. The potential contradiction could be between God remembering promises and punishing people. If God is just and faithful to promises, some might wonder how punishment fits into that, especially when considering collective punishment for the people's actions.
