Thus covenant after covenant will have most of the same things when it comes to what is right to do between our fellow man, God and our surroundings! Paul clearly points back to what the OT said. As what was right! TO do otherwise was sin thus we transgressed! The law pointed to God's righteousness! We failed through the flesh! The aspects of the law we failed showed our lack of character and holiness and our sinful nature!
Seriously I am about done with your circular reasoning.

In what way is my reasoning circular?
The covenant between God and Israel, MC, was conditional, not eternal. Are there some things that outlive the Mosaic Law? Sure. How do we know they outlived the Mosaic Law? We find them in the New Covenant.
Exodus 19-3-6
Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain and said, "This is what you are to say to the house of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.
Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you [a] will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites."
Jeremiah 31:31-33
31Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
33But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
And as Mr. O'Reilly says "I'll give you the last word. Go."
