I like these too:
(CLV) Ro 7:12
So that the law, indeed, is holy, and the precept holy and just and good.
(CLV) Ro 7:22
For I am gratified with the law of God as to the man within,
(CLV) Ro 7:25
I thank God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Consequently, then, I myself, with the mind, indeed, am slaving for God's law, yet with the flesh for Sin's law.
Slaving to YHWH's Torah..... I 'd just like to let that one sink in for a moment.
Even James got the wrong idea about Paul sometimes. He made him shave his head and pay for the expenses of four others taking the Nazarite vow. This was very expensive, even for one. Paul paid for their sacrifices to prove his love for the Torah.
(CLV) Ac 21:24
Taking these along, be purified together with them, and bear their expenses, that they should be shaving their heads, and all will know that what they have been instructed concerning you is nothing, but you also are observing the elements and you yourself are maintaining the law.
(CLV) Ac 24:14
"Yet I am avowing this to you, that, according to the way which they are terming a sect, thus am I offering divine service to the hereditary God, believing all that is written, according to the law and in the prophets,
(CLV) Ac 25:8
Paul defending that "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the sanctuary, nor against Caesar did I any sin."
Such dedication!
(CLV) 1Co 11:1
Become imitators of me, according as I also am of Christ.
So was Paul a hypocrite; was he obedient to the law; was messiah a scofflaw; or is this verse a forgery?
Is there any other possibility?
