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.
