Contradiction with James 2:24
This verse states "Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only," emphasizing the necessity of works in addition to faith for justification, contrasting with Titus 3:7's emphasis on being justified by grace alone.
James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Contradiction with Romans 2:6

Romans 2:6: Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
Contradiction with Matthew 19:17
In this verse, Jesus says, "if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments," suggesting adherence to commandments is necessary for eternal life, which contrasts with the concept of being justified by grace in Titus 3:7.
Matthew 19:17: And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Contradiction with Galatians 2:16
Although also emphasizing faith, this verse notes that "a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ," reinforcing a faith-centric view but contrasts Titus 3:7 by specifying faith as the key element over grace.
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.
