Paul expounded from the OT Scriptures, who wrote 2/3 of the NT, see the last few verses of Acts. Besides, isn't that what we do today in teaching the Church?

There wasn't a finalized OT canon or Scripture at the time. Certain scrolls of books
may have been available, but likely not. Much of the OT quotes from NT passages are out of oral tradition.
Your second statement -- what we do today in Church is irrelevant to understanding the author's meaning, and what they did
then in church. Since you've used the word "eisegesis" so many times in this thread, I'll go ahead and give the word correct application: what we do today does not read into the Text of what they did then.
