Compare that with the verse I gave you from James, and you will see that Paul admits to willfully being disobedient to God at times.

No, I am no better than Paul. I did not say I do not sin. I fail miserably from time to time, but when God reveals sin, I repent and I confess. Then I ask Him to help me to serve Him more.
Notice in verse 19 that the evil Paul did was never intentional. He did not want to sin, but the flesh wars against the spirit, and unfortunately, sometimes prevails.
