Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 4:5
Advises to wait for the Lord's judgment instead of judging prematurely, contrasting the act of judging mentioned in Romans 14:10.

Contradiction with James 4:12
States there is only one lawgiver and judge (God), which could be seen as contradicting the judging of others mentioned in Romans 14:10.
James 4:12: There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Contradiction with Matthew 13:29-30
Jesus' parable suggests not to judge or separate the wheat from the tares prematurely, contrasting personal judgment in Romans 14:10.
Matthew 13:29-30: But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction or inconsistency could arise from the idea of judgment. On one hand, the verse advises against judging others, suggesting that only God has the right to judge. On the other hand, humans often need to make judgments in everyday life for practical reasons or to uphold justice and morality. This can create tension between following the verse's guidance and the necessity of making judgments in certain situations.
