Galatians 6:2: Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Contradiction with James 2:15-16

This verse warns that those who ignore the cries of the poor will not be heard, opposing the priest's lack of aid in Luke 10:31.

Contradiction with Isaiah 58:7
This verse instructs to help the oppressed, contrasting with the priest's action in Luke 10:31 where he bypasses the wounded man.
Isaiah 58:7: [Is it] not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? [cast...: or, afflicted]
Paradox #1
The contradiction could be seen if one expects religious leaders always to act with compassion and aid those in need. The verse suggests that a religious figure failed to help someone in distress, which might conflict with the expectation of them setting an example of kindness and care.
