Contradiction with Romans 3:28
Romans 3:28 suggests that justification is by faith without deeds of the law, while Romans 6:22 emphasizes being freed from sin and becoming servants to God, implying a linkage between actions (holiness) and the outcome (eternal life).
Romans 3:28: Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Contradiction with Ephesians 2:8-9

Contradiction with Galatians 2:16
Galatians 2:16 indicates that a person is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, potentially conflicting with Romans 6:22’s focus on holiness as a result of being servants to God which implies a role for works.
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.

Titus 3:5: Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Contradiction with James 2:24
