I think you are mistaken. In Christ's time there was a hearisy of gnostics, they said that the Lord was only spiritual. Yet even the Lord's prayer is to be tought of as both spiritual and physical at the same time. When the Lord speaks of abundance, that is to be read as both physical and spiritual. When the Lord saved the children from slavery in Egypt, it was both physical and spiritual. Much scripture is a physical history, that history explains the spiritual facts of the Lord, but it is also a physical history. We are to open our hearts AND minds to the Lord, not limit Him.

Let me help you prove your right with the word Blik (Corinthians 10:16-18) 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, Who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

these things aren't English. they're Greek.
we don't speak Greek. we need to study. we need knowledge. we need help.
in Greek, the actual given language of these scriptures, it is the word diathéké both in 2 Corinthians 3:6 and identically in Hebrews 9:15 & 16, and also exactly the same ((Greek, the actual language of the epistles & gospels)) word in Luke 22:20 & in Hebrews 8:8. same word. one word.

You should know I don't get my theology from biblehub. My bible clearly states testament, and a testament is not of force until the death of the testator. Covenants are a different story. God makes covenants throughout the bible that do not require death. Yes? So, there is clearly a difference. The two words cannot be used interchangeably.
A common mistranslation of what Paul meant, use the KJV to get a proper translation.
You may want to read this thread if you are keen to understand the difference between Testament and covenant.

We are in Christ's body but not thru the new covenant of Hebrews 8:8.

We are in Christ's body thru believing in his death burial and resurrection for our sins. (1 Cor 15:1-4)
No covenant required there. God don't make covenants with the Body of Christ.
If you really want to link it to a covenant, the closest would be the Abrahamic one, where he was justified by faith without circumcision, as Paul would explain in Romans 4.
But that was not made with us.
