Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in that verse might center on the idea of letting both good and bad grow together. It can be seen as inconsistent with taking immediate action against evil. Some people might wonder why it's suggested to wait rather than address wrongdoing right away. This raises questions about justice and protection for the good.
