Contradiction with Romans 6:23
Romans 6:23 states that "the wages of sin is death," which could be seen as contradictory to Romans 8:1, which declares "no condemnation" for those in Christ, suggesting freedom from the ultimate consequence of sin.

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