Contradiction with Matthew 5:19
Emphasizes adherence to the law as great in the kingdom, whereas Philippians 3:8 implies counting all things as loss for the knowledge of Christ, suggesting a shift from law to faith.
Matthew 5:19: Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Contradiction with James 2:24
Stresses that a person is justified by works and not by faith only, while Philippians 3:8 underscores the value of faith and knowledge of Christ over all.
James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Contradiction with Galatians 3:10
States that those under the law are cursed, contradicting the essence of Philippians 3:8 that devalues the law compared to faith in Christ.
Galatians 3:10: For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Contradiction with Romans 3:31
Asserts that faith upholds the law, contrasting with Philippians 3:8 which implies all old gains, including the law, are loss for Christ.
Romans 3:31: Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 6:12
Encourages fighting the good fight of faith, yet calls for holding onto faith and a good conscience, possibly seen as deeds, while Philippians 3:8 elevates faith beyond all.
1 Timothy 6:12: Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
