And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Ephesians 4:30
Very similar to the statement of the Lord Jesus in Matthew. Again, it should be obvious that a mere "power" or "life-force" cannot be "grieved". Only a person can be grieved.

Unto him- you made up a new term here and act as if it is scriptural- God the Holy Spirit is not a biblical term/ concept. You may want to rephrase your statement, and consider that there is a very good reason God the Holy Spirit is not used in scripture.
