Yes, it is Scripture in the sense of being written (script.)Um the New testament is scripture and BTW the old covenant has been replaced with the New
But just because Gentiles gather scrolls and make a book does not mean it is on par with the Hebrew Scripture, the Oracles of God, from Genesis to Malachi.
All the New Covenant writing from Matthew to Revelation is only exploration, explanation, and discussion of the things happening in Israel using the Hebrew Scripture to understand the new thing God was doing in the earth. Letters are not prophecy, but the writer's explanation of the Acts of the Holy Spirit in the world and God's dealing with Israel. Still.
The gospels were written to and for the children of Israel so that they might believe and come to the knowledge of the truth concerning Jesus bar Joseph from Nazareth.
The word of mouth was helpful also among the Jews about this Jesus, a Teacher, Prophet sent by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
There is no replacement of the Mosaic Covenant. The people of God still use it for instruction in righteousness, for doctrine, for reproof, and for correction so that the Jewish Christ may be thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Without the Mosaic Law God's people are without direction. But thanks to God His true people are obedient to His commandments.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. Rev. 22:14.
And no, this was not written to non-Hebrew Gentiles but to the Jewish people of God.
Without the Mosaic Law given to Israel and their obedience to God's Word they would be a people who would lean upon their own understanding in the vanity of their minds.
