Contradiction with Romans 3:10

Emphasizes that a person is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, which contrasts with the focus on works of righteousness influencing one's fate in Ezekiel 33:19.
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.
Paradox #1
The potential moral conflict in this verse could arise from the idea of fairness. It suggests that if a person who has done wrong changes their ways and does right, they will be saved from the consequences of their past wrongs. Some might see this as unfair to those who have always done right, as it seems to offer the same outcome to people regardless of their past behavior. This could be seen as inconsistent because it appears to treat people differently based on current rather than past actions.
