Contradiction with Galatians 6:2
While Romans 1:12 speaks of mutual faith offering comfort, Galatians 6:2 emphasizes fulfilling the law of Christ by bearing one another's burdens, not mutual comfort.
Galatians 6:2: Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Contradiction with Philippians 2:3
Romans 1:12 highlights mutual encouragement, whereas Philippians 2:3 advises acting with humility, potentially at odds with a focus on mutual benefit.
Philippians 2:3: [Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 5:8
Romans 1:12 focuses on mutual faith for comfort, contradicting the call in 1 Timothy 5:8 to prioritize providing for one's family over mutual encouragement.
1 Timothy 5:8: But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. [house: or, kindred]
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 13:5
While Romans 1:12 talks about mutual faith, 1 Corinthians 13:5 criticizes seeking one's own, implying selflessness beyond mutual gain.
1 Corinthians 13:5: Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Contradiction with James 2:24
This verse emphasizes justification by works, possibly contradicting Romans 1:12’s encouragement through shared faith alone without works.
James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
