Contradiction with Genesis 6:9

Genesis 6:9: These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God. [perfect: or, upright]
Contradiction with James 5:16
This verse discusses confessing faults and the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man, suggesting the existence of righteous individuals, contrary to Psalms 14:3.
James 5:16: Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Contradiction with Job 1:1
This verse describes Job as a perfect and upright man, explicitly contradicting Psalms 14:3's claim that there is none who does good.
Job 1:1: There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name [was] Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
Contradiction with Luke 1:6

Contradiction with Romans 3:10
Although similar to Psalms 14:3, in the broader context, Romans speaks of God's righteousness and implies believers are made righteous through faith, potentially contradicting the idea that none are righteous.

Paradox #1
Some people might see a conflict between Psalm 14:3 and other parts of the Bible that mention the goodness or righteousness of certain individuals, such as Noah or Job. Psalm 14:3 speaks about everyone being corrupt and not doing good, which might seem at odds with these examples. The way to understand this is to see the verse as making a general statement about human sinfulness rather than denying the existence of individual acts of goodness or righteousness in certain people.
Paradox #2
Psalms 14:3 speaks about people not doing good and turning away from God. The potential contradiction could be that it seems to generalize all people as corrupt or not good, which might conflict with the belief that people can choose to be good and do good deeds. This idea may seem inconsistent with the notion of free will and the ability of individuals to act righteously.
