I think that on occasion, Paul did "parse verbs." At least, he certainly did use grammar to make a point. In Galatians, he notes carefully the point about "seed" being singular rather than plural. That's pure exegesis, right there. At the same time, Paul and the rest of the apostles, and Jesus Himself, saw the entire OT as being fulfilled in Jesus Christ. That makes them read their OT in a different way entirely than the Jews did (see especially Luke 24 and John 5).
