Contradiction with Ephesians 4:32
Differing from Genesis 20:16, where a gift is given, Ephesians 4:32 emphasizes forgiveness and kindness without compensation.

Paradox #1
This verse involves the story where Abraham misleads Abimelech by saying Sarah is his sister. The potential contradiction or conflict here is about honesty. Abraham, a key biblical figure, acts deceptively, which raises questions about the consistency of moral teachings on truthfulness in the Bible. This could seem inconsistent with the expectation of honesty as a virtue.
