Paul wrote to the saints and faithful brethren who were believers in Jesus Christ. Since Jesus's death, burial, and resurrection, we are living in the New Covenant or New Testament. The Old Covenant was a shadow or type, until Jesus came. Jesus freed us from sin and the law, which kept us in bondage. He obtained our eternal redemption with His precious blood. His blood was greater than the blood of bulls and goats. We don't have to work and be good, to be right with God. The New Covenant is all about Jesus and His work on the cross. Our work is to believe in Jesus! Believers are new in Christ. God sees us through Jesus. What was a mystery in the Old Covenant, is revealed to believers by the Holy Spirit. We are Not under the Old Covenant! Rules and laws will Not save us. We are living in the New Covenant, with Jesus living in us, believers.
