Contradiction with Matthew 19:6
This verse emphasizes the unity and indissolubility of marriage, contradicting the additional relationships and complications introduced by Abram and Hagar in Genesis 16:4.
Matthew 19:6: Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Contradiction with Mark 10:8
It highlights the "one flesh" principle in marriage, conflicting with the introduction of a third party, Hagar, in the marital relationship of Abram and Sarai.
Mark 10:8: And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 7:2
It advises each man to have his own wife and each woman her own husband to prevent immorality, which is in contrast to Abram having a child with Hagar while still being married to Sarai.
1 Corinthians 7:2: Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
Contradiction with Hebrews 13:4
It states marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept pure, opposing the involvement of Hagar.
Hebrews 13:4: Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
Contradiction with Malachi 2:14-15
These verses speak against dealing treacherously with a spouse and being faithless, in direct contradiction to Abram taking Hagar as another partner at Sarai's request.
Malachi 2:14-15: Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet [is] she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict could be the issue of jealousy and mistreatment. When someone gains something, like respect or status, others might become jealous and treat them badly. This can create conflicts and emotional harm among people.
