Contradiction with Luke 6:42
This verse offers a similar message to Matthew 7:4, focusing on self-awareness before judging others, which doesn't directly contradict but reflects on the same principle.
Luke 6:42: Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
Contradiction with Galatians 6:1
Encourages gently restoring others with awareness of our own faults, contrasting with focusing on others' faults as in Matthew 7:4.
Galatians 6:1: Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. [if: or, although]
Contradiction with James 5:19-20
Stresses turning others from sin, which can be seen as opposed to the warning against judging others' faults in Matthew 7:4.
James 5:19-20: Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Contradiction with Romans 2:1
Implies that judging others is inexcusable if you do the same things, contrasting with the idea of pointing out others' faults in Matthew 7:4.
Romans 2:1: Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Paradox #1
The contradiction in that verse could be about hypocrisy. It highlights the inconsistency of judging others when you have your own flaws. If someone points out others' small faults while ignoring their own bigger ones, it creates a conflict between their words and actions.
