Some would place these pass. in 1 because of the connotation of warning. μετὰ τὸ προειρηκέναι (i.e. τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον) is followed by Jer 38:33, and in such a way that λέγει κύριος (in the LXX φησὶν κύριος) introduces the main clause after he (the Holy Spirit) said …, the Lord said (as follows) Hb 10:15 v. l.
