Contradiction with James 2:24
James emphasizes that a person is justified by works and not by faith only, which appears to contradict Galatians 3:5 that stresses hearing and faith over works of the law.
James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Contradiction with Romans 3:28
Romans states that a person is justified by faith without the deeds of the law, which aligns rather than contrasts; however, the focus on faith alone can be seen as contradictory if considering works in James.
Romans 3:28: Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Contradiction with Ephesians 2:8-9
Ephesians emphasizes salvation by grace through faith, not of works, which aligns with the faith aspect of Galatians 3:5, but contradicts any implied necessity of the law or works.
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 Matthew 7:21
This verse claims only those who do the will of God enter heaven, emphasizing action, which can counterbalance Galatians 3:5’s emphasis on faith.
Matthew 7:21: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Contradiction with Philippians 2:12
Advises to work out salvation with fear and trembling, suggesting active effort, potentially contradicting the notion of faith alone in Galatians 3:5.
Philippians 2:12: Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
