Contradiction with Romans 12:19
Romans 12:19 contradicts James 4:7 by emphasizing vengeance belonging to God, while James 4:7's instruction to resist the devil could imply taking action against evil oneself.
Romans 12:19: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:39
Matthew 5:39 presents a contradiction by teaching to turn the other cheek instead of resisting evil, whereas James 4:7 encourages resistance against the devil.
Matthew 5:39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Contradiction with Exodus 14:14
Exodus 14:14 contradicts James 4:7 as it instructs the Lord will fight for you, implying passivity, while James 4:7 calls for active resistance.
Exodus 14:14: The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:34
Matthew 6:34's advice to not worry about tomorrow contrasts with the urgency of vigilance and resistance implied in James 4:7.
Matthew 6:34: Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof.
Contradiction with Lamentations 3:26
Lamentations 3:26 contradicts James 4:7 by suggesting that it is good to wait quietly for the Lord's salvation, a more passive stance versus the active resistance called for in James 4:7.
Lamentations 3:26: [It is] good that [a man] should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
