View 2 analysis: The Quotation-Refutation View and Beth Allison Barr's promotion of it

This view holds Paul is refuting verses 34-35 rather than endorsing them. Beth Allison Barr promotes this view and argues the RSV translation specifically supports it. She reads the RSV with emphasis that makes verse 36 ('What! Did the word of God originate with you?') sound like a refutation of everything preceding it.
