If anyone asks me what I really think about a natural reading of v11-15, apart from the context, I would answer like this. V11,12 sound like a general comment, but v15 indicates that Paul has a particular woman and man in mind.
A school principal writes to a teacher, “a girl needs to learn quietly. I do not permit a girl to punch a boy. But she can remain in the class, if they continue to behave appropriately”. It sounds like he is stating a general principle, but his conclusion indicates that he has a particular girl and boy in mind. I guess this is what the anaphoric issue is about.
I am just raising any other possibilities I can think of to see if I am missing something that could relate more easily with the context. Thanks.

Ah, that’s cool! Works for me too! 🙂 Either way, with or without vv 13 & 14, “she” refers back to a specific woman because of v15. Yes, that’s what the anaphoric issue is about.
