From my bible ouline
I would like to know why you think of the Laws Jesus gave us were not what Paul be referencing but the Law of Moses when it had been replaced by the New Covenant, after the crucifixion of Christ, His blood shed to bring it about? (Not to mention they were set up to be "under" till John the Baptist). Maybe I missed something in a previous conversation? I am just a little lost here as to what you are saying.

I didn`t say they were Moses Law. I used the word "laws" because Paul calls them ordinances which means same thing. The documents were Paul`s orders for the Corinthian church. My point was that even under Grace there are laws. The Commandments of Jesus and the teachings of Paul, lot`s of it is straight out of the law. Paul quotes and teaches from the Torah dozens of times in the epistles. Jesus absolutely taught the law and obeying his commandments is obeying law of Moses.
Ok, sounds like a nice deal. But explain how I can reconcile your opinion with this passage?
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

What interpretation?
Moses said whoever does not obey every word will be punished by death
Paul re-iterated that, and called the ten commands the ministration of death
James confirmed it.
There is no interpretation to bother with, just take the men of God who spoke through inspiration of God at his word.
