Contradiction with Romans 12:3
Romans 12:3 suggests that grace is given according to the faith each person has, while Ephesians 4:7 implies grace is given according to the measure of Christ's gift.
Romans 12:3: For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. [soberly: Gr. to sobriety]
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 12:11
1 Corinthians 12:11 states that spiritual gifts are distributed according to the Holy Spirit’s will, which contrasts with Ephesians 4:7 suggesting grace is given according to Christ’s gift.
1 Corinthians 12:11: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
Contradiction with Matthew 20:23
In Matthew 20:23, Jesus mentions that certain honors are granted by the Father, which can be seen as differing from the idea in Ephesians 4:7 where Christ allocates grace.
Matthew 20:23: And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but [it shall be given to them] for whom it is prepared of my Father.
Contradiction with James 1:17
James 1:17 affirms that every good gift comes from the Father, introducing a potential contradiction with Ephesians 4:7 which attributes the measure of grace to Christ.
James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Contradiction with 1 Peter 4:10
1 Peter 4:10 emphasizes the use of gifts to serve others as faithful stewards of God's grace, which presents a different view of grace compared to Ephesians 4:7 focusing on individual gifts from Christ.
1 Peter 4:10: As every man hath received the gift, [even so] minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
