Contradiction with Proverbs 28:26
While Psalms 119:39 speaks of fearing reproach, Proverbs 28:26 promotes self-confidence over fear of others' opinions.
Proverbs 28:26: He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 7:21
This verse advises not to take to heart all things that people say, suggesting a focus away from fearing reproach.
Ecclesiastes 7:21: Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee: [take...: Heb. give not thine heart]
Contradiction with Matthew 5:11
This verse encourages rejoicing when reproached for righteousness, contrasting with the request to remove reproach.
Matthew 5:11: Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. [falsely: Gr. lying]
Contradiction with Galatians 1:10
Paul emphasizes seeking God's approval rather than fearing human reproach, differing from the sentiment in Psalms 119:39.
Galatians 1:10: For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Contradiction with 1 Peter 4:14
Being reproached is framed positively if it is for the name of Christ, opposing the view of reproach as undesirable in Psalms 119:39.
1 Peter 4:14: If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy [are ye]; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
