Contradiction with Matthew 10:33
This verse states that denying Christ before others will lead to being denied before the Father, suggesting a consequence of personal action, while Romans 1:16 emphasizes the power of the gospel for those who believe, without mentioning the act of denial.
Matthew 10:33: But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Contradiction with James 2:17
This verse argues that faith without works is dead, potentially contradicting Romans 1:16 which emphasizes faith alone as the power of salvation.
James 2:17: Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. [alone: Gr. by itself]
Contradiction with Galatians 2:16
This verse states justification by faith in Jesus Christ, not by works of the law, aligning with, rather than contradicting, Romans 1:16.
Galatians 2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 1:18
This verse explains the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, suggesting a lack of power for some, contrary to the universal power described in Romans 1:16 for everyone who believes.
1 Corinthians 1:18: For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
