Contradiction with Luke 6:30
While Philippians 4:3 encourages helping fellow workers in the Gospel, Luke 6:30 instructs to give to everyone who asks, which might contradict the selective support implied.
Luke 6:30: Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask [them] not again.
Contradiction with Matthew 10:14
Philippians 4:3 involves collaboration and community assistance, but Matthew 10:14 advises leaving those who do not receive your message, suggesting a withdrawal rather than engagement.
Matthew 10:14: And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Contradiction with 2 Thessalonians 3:10
Philippians 4:3 implies supporting one another in gospel work, whereas 2 Thessalonians 3:10 emphasizes that if any would not work, they should not eat, possibly contradicting unconditional support.
2 Thessalonians 3:10: For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 5:8
Philippians 4:3 highlights working together in faith, but 1 Timothy 5:8 stresses providing for one's own household first, which may contradict prioritizing communal work above family responsibilities.
1 Timothy 5:8: But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. [house: or, kindred]
Contradiction with Galatians 6:5
Philippians 4:3 promotes assisting others in gospel work, while Galatians 6:5 emphasizes carrying one’s own load, suggesting a focus on personal responsibility.
Galatians 6:5: For every man shall bear his own burden.
