Have you forgotten (Romans 10:4)?
4 For Christ is the end (termination) of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
The law was given in righteousness and nothing the law demanded was unrighteous. You keep saying that Christ only did away with the curse of the law but this verse speaks clearly as to the end of the law for righteousness. If we are to keep the law is it not for righteousness, for we are not made righteous by keeping the deeds of the law. We are made righteous by faith through the cross of Christ. The law has nothing to do with the work of the cross that we are to put our trust. The law we serve is the law of Christ and the law of the Spirit of life. We are not made righteous nor are we justified by the law or any aspect of the law in deed or truth.
yes we are not made righteous by our own deeds, but only by His mercy.
telos is not "termination" it the "goal" Messiah walk is the perfect example of the intent of the Law..

4 For Christ is the end (termination) of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Romans 10:4, "For Christ is the
end (telos) of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."
Romans 10:4, "For Yahshua is the
ultimate result (telos) of the Law unto righteousness for everyone who believes."
1Peter 1:9, "Receiving the
end (telos) of your faith, even the salvation of your souls."
1 Kepha (Peter) 1:9, "Receiving the
ultimate result (telos) of your faith--the salvation of your souls."
If the its the end of the Law aka Law is done away in Romans 10:4 then faith must also be done away in 1 Kepha (Peter) 1:9. Unless of course telos means the goal.
Greek Dictionary (Lexicon-Concordance) - #5056 telos {tel'-os} from a primary tello
(to set out for a definite point or goal)
HELPS Word-studies - 5056 télos (a neuter noun) –
properly, consummation (the end-goal, purpose), such as closure with all its results.
James 5:11, "Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the
end (telos) of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful."
SO if telos is "termination" as you say then in James 5:11 it is the "termination" "of the Lord", no it is not, end/termination is a mistranslation/misunderstanding of what is written in the greek...
