Unfortunately you left out the key to the entire New Testament!
Romans 2:

[1] Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
[2] But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
[3] And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
[4] Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
[5] But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
[6] Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
[7] To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
[8] But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
[9] Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
[10] But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
[11] For there is no respect of persons with God.
[12] For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
[13] (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
[14] For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
[15] Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

You omit the stated fact Paul was trying to get across:   That we are not "under" the law because Yeshua has replaced the defective will of men to obey with the perfect will of the Father, by writing Torah on our hearts, thus if we are in him, we obey all of Torah perfectly, unto our ultimate righteousness, our "garment" required for the wedding feast.

“Unfortunately you left out the key to the entire New Testament!”
No actually the key to the entire bible was said by Jesus in two lines.
LOVE is the KEY!

Luke 10:26-28 New International Version (NIV)
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

John 13:34New International Version (NIV)
34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

“You omit the stated fact Paul was trying to get across: That we are not “under” the law because Yeshua has replaced the defective will of men to obey with the perfect will of the Father, by writing Torah on our hearts, thus if we are in him, we obey all of Torah perfectly, unto our ultimate righteousness, our “garment” required for the wedding feast.”

“Yeshua has replaced the defective will of men”
Please give me scripture of our defective will being replaced. Our will is still as defective as Adam and Eve’s will. As a believer my corrupted nature has the Blood of Christ covering it so that God only see’s Christ’s Perfect Blood and not my defective nature, but that doesn’t mean my defective will has been replaced.

“by writing Torah on our hearts, thus if we are in him, we obey all of Torah perfectly”
Well then if the Torah is on our hearts I guess you are still sacrificing Bulls, Rams. Lambs, and etc.. at least once a year for your sins. Good luck with that since salvation is by faith only as Jesus already did all the works.

“unto our ultimate righteousness”
Sorry, but righteousness is credited by faith and faith alone.

Now the correct version is to say that if we Love our Heavenly Father with all our Heart and Soul and Love one another as Christ Loves us we fulfill the law as our Lord and Savior did. That does not mean we are to live by it!
Love Never Fails, 1 Corinthians 13
