Contradiction with Proverbs 11:24
This verse suggests that there is one who gives freely yet grows richer, which might be seen as contrasting with the duty or debt aspect mentioned in Romans 15:27 regarding giving.
Proverbs 11:24: There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and [there is] that withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] to poverty.
Contradiction with Acts 20:35
This verse emphasizes the blessedness of giving rather than receiving, which may contrast with the obligation perspective highlighted in Romans 15:27.
Acts 20:35: I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 9:7
This verse stresses giving freely and cheerfully without compulsion, which might appear to contrast with the notion of it being a duty as suggested in Romans 15:27.
2 Corinthians 9:7: Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
Paradox #1
Romans 15:27 might be seen as morally inconsistent if someone interprets it to suggest that one group is obligated to support another group solely based on a historical or cultural relationship, rather than personal choice or present-day circumstance. This could conflict with a belief in equality where help and support should be based on current need and mutual respect, rather than past obligations.
