Paradox #1
Luke 11:35 advises individuals to ensure that the light within them is not darkness. A potential contradiction could arise if someone is confident that their values or actions are inherently good, but others perceive them as harmful or misguided. This could lead to a conflict between one's self-perception and the external perception of their morality.
