My points outside of this thread have always been that righteousness of God is not limited to covenants but are always expressed consistently in the covenants of God. The same law that is #1 and #2 which all the law hangs is still the same law of the new covenant. God doesn not change. divine order of creation is always true until all things are made new and the paradigm changes of our existance.

The NT is NOT based on the OT. You are confusing corrolation with causation. That is a logical fallacy. There are repeated elements of the OT in the NT. Murder is still wrong. But the NT is a New Testament, a New covenant, a new Law. The Law of Love.
We look to the NT. We can, I believe, look at OT versions of the moral laws of God repeated in the NT for clarity, but beside that we can't just go to the Law and decide which laws apply to us today and which do not.

that is nice but I asked for didactic teaching not indirect. Though I would agree with the above.

The word didactic means "teaching"..not sure you knew that or not. The word didactic does not mean "explicit". The bible teachings things both explicitly and implicitly
For example the bible never says "Speaking in tongues is the evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost", yet that never stopped Pentecostals from accepting implied teaching on the subject.
