[Petronski]

Paul says with his own words, in plain words with clear Greek present tense...

Show me the verse where he says "I remained completely observant."

Then everybody will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the Law.

And what where "these reports?" False reports that St. Paul was encouraging Jews in the Diaspora to abandon Mosaic Law. To put the lie to the reports, St. Paul paid for the sacrifices required of four members of the Jerusalem community for the termination of the Nazirite vow.

St. Paul had no problem with continued observance of Mosaic law by newly converted Christians, so long as they became new Christians.

Your misinterpretation is wrong. It fails.

Still having trouble with English?

...but that you yourself are living in obedience to the Law...

James begins this recorded conversation with "There are myriads and myriads zealous for the Law..." and ends it with you yourself are living in obedience to the Law.... James isn't talking about OTHER people when he says "YOU, YOURSELF." Take it slowly and sound out the words if you need to... He was talk-ing... to... Paul... There, see, that wasn't hard was it?
