Contradiction with Luke 6:38
Luke 6:38 emphasizes measures of fairness and expected returns, which contrasts with the unexpected equality in Matthew 20:9.
Luke 6:38: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Contradiction with Galatians 6:7
Galatians 6:7 implies a direct correlation between effort and reward, contradicting the equal payment regardless of work duration in Matthew 20:9.
Galatians 6:7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Contradiction with Proverbs 14:23
Proverbs 14:23 suggests that hard work leads to profit, contrasting the equal wages given in Matthew 20:9 regardless of the amount of work done.
Proverbs 14:23: In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips [tendeth] only to penury.
Contradiction with Colossians 3:25
Colossians 3:25 indicates that wrongdoings should be met with consequences, whereas Matthew 20:9 reflects grace rather than justice based on deeds.
Colossians 3:25: But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in this context could be the idea of fairness. People might see it as unfair that those who worked less received the same payment as those who worked longer. This could raise questions about justice and equal treatment.
