Galatians 2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:12

Matthew 6:12: And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

This verse states the rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender, contrasting with the concept of debt forgiveness in Luke 7:41.
