Contradiction with Matthew 7:1
This verse, "Judge not, that ye be not judged," aligns with Romans 2:1's caution against judging others, so it does not directly contradict but complements its message.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in Romans 2:1 could arise from the idea of judging others while being guilty of the same faults. The Bible in other parts encourages judgment and correction among believers, but this verse warns against hypocritical judgment. The conflict might be in understanding how to balance holding others accountable while recognizing one's own shortcomings.
Paradox #2
A contradiction or conflict with Romans 2:1 could be that it highlights human behavior where people judge others while doing similar wrong actions themselves. This shows inconsistency because it criticizes the tendency to condemn others for faults we also possess.
