The “correct exegesis” is a matter of opinion. So you have judged Cheryl as having faulty exegesis when you have not proven it to be faulty, but merely made the accusation– hence judgment.

I say:
And now the other shoe falls. We now see how you view Scripture! Just a book open to various widely divergent interpretations.
What is so ludicrous about this proposition is that it even puts into question those passages that have good perpescuity (clarity) by even basic third grade grammatical standards in the English and in the original Greek!
There are areas of the Bible such as Eschatology that are open to different interpretations. But the passage in question is not one of those!
It goes against basic grammatical composition and good common sense to even imply that Paul is not giving direct instructions in this passage. And hence it is indeed bad exegesis to imply that Paul is quoting a letter to him and then refuting it!

And I have answered all of Cheryl’s questions.
