Hello Elizabeth,
I wasn't so much thinking of the analogy between hOTI and GAR as the
fact that FHMI is nested inside the quotation in both passages. Having
said that, the GAR in 1 Cor 6:16 introduces the citation from Genesis as
an explanation of what precedes (v. 16a). In my reading of 2 Cor 10:10,
the hOTI is not altogether different: it introduces a statement that
builds on the preceding verse and explains it, that explanation becoming
a citation "en cours de route".
What struck me though was the nested use of FHMI, which was your
original question I believe.
Blessings,
