Paradox #1

The contradiction in this verse could arise from the idea of advocating peace while there are other parts of religious texts that mention violence or conflicts. This may create an inconsistency in how peace is understood or practiced within a broader religious context that also contains stories and laws that involve war and punishment. Yet, such contradictions often depend on broader interpretations and context.
