What about Matthew 6?

Gospel: Matthew 6:1-6;16-18 “Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give alms, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you”.

Are there any scriptures in Matthew to John that say that ceremonial laws/tithing are carried over in the New Covenant program, and that say that Christians are obligated to pay tithes?

If so, where are the scriptures from Acts to Revelation (the New Covenant program based upon Christ’s work laid out in Matthew to John, which were culminated when He said “It is finished”) that say that Christians are obligated to pay tithes? Jesus Christ talked about sins and dos and don’t that are part of the morality that was carried over as they preceded the Law and are eternal truths that existed before the foundation of the world.

Was Paul right when he said in 2 Corinthians 3:11 that the Old Covenant was a transitory one, and did not have a glory that lasts, and when he said, too, that the Old Covenant was given to us as a school master until Christ came, and furthermore when he said that the Old Covenant was old, obsolete and ready to vanish away?
