Critics point to the KJV translations of Matthew 19:18 ('Thou shalt do no murder') and Romans 13:9 ('Thou shalt not kill') to argue that Jesus and Paul fundamentally disagreed on the wording of the sixth commandment. This argument evaporates when examining the original language. In both verses, the underlying Greek text uses the exact same phrase: ou phoneuseis. The perceived contradiction is entirely an artifact of English translation choices, not a theological disagreement between Jesus and Paul.
