Paradox #1
The verse suggests that if extraordinary works had not been done, there wouldn't be a reason for guilt or fault. This could conflict with the idea that all people have inherent faults or sins regardless of witnessing such works. It raises questions about the basis of moral responsibility and sin.
Paradox #2
Some people might see a contradiction in that the verse could imply that witnessing miracles is necessary to recognize wrongdoing. This might conflict with the idea that people should naturally know right from wrong without needing extraordinary signs.
