Contradiction with Romans 6:14
Galatians 3:25 suggests that we are no longer under the law because of faith, whereas Romans 6:14 implies that sin, not law itself, should not have dominion over us, suggesting the continuous relevance of law through grace.
Romans 6:14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:17
Here, Jesus states that He did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it, implying the law still remains relevant, contrasting with the idea that faith alone supersedes the law after Christ.
Matthew 5:17: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Contradiction with James 2:24
James emphasizes that a person is justified by works and not by faith only, which can be seen as contradicting the idea in Galatians 3:25 that faith alone makes the law obsolete.
James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Contradiction with Matthew 19:17
Jesus tells a man to keep the commandments to attain eternal life, indicating the necessity of the law, which contradicts the assertion in Galatians 3:25 of no longer being under the law.
Matthew 19:17: And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 7:19
Paul himself states that "keeping the commandments of God" is what matters, contradicting the notion in Galatians 3:25 that we are beyond the law through faith in Christ.
1 Corinthians 7:19: Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
Contradiction with Romans 3:31
Paul asks if we then nullify the law by this faith and answers that we uphold the law, which implies continuity rather than cessation as suggested by Galatians 3:25.
Romans 3:31: Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Paradox #1
The moral conflict some might see in Galatians 3:25 could be the tension between following religious laws and living by faith. Some people might say there's an inconsistency between the need for laws to guide moral behavior and the idea that faith alone is enough to guide a person's actions without strict rules. However, interpretations vary, and not everyone sees this as a contradiction.
