James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Contradiction with 1 John 1:8

Contradiction with Galatians 5:17
Galatians 5:17 describes the ongoing conflict between the flesh and the spirit, contrasting with Romans 6:7 which suggests being freed from sin.

Contradiction with 1 Timothy 1:15
1 Timothy 1:15 acknowledges Paul as a sinner, conflicting with Romans 6:7's implication of being freed from sin.
1 Timothy 1:15: This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
Paradox #1
Some people think there's a contradiction with this verse because it talks about being free from sin through a specific act, while other parts of the Bible suggest that freedom from sin is a result of believing in or accepting a certain truth or relationship. This can seem inconsistent with passages that focus on faith or grace as the path to freedom from sin.
