Then there's this:
[LS] ἀρραβών
ἀρρα±βών, ῶνος, ὁ, earnest-money, caution-money, deposited by the purchaser and
forfeited if the purchase is not completed, Lat. arrhabo, arrha, Isae., N.T. (A Hebr. word.)
We're commanded such things as to abide/remain and endure. What if we don't?
We're commanded to not lupeō the Holy Spirit of God en whom we were sealed (Eph4:30).
[BDAG] λυπέω • λυπέω 1 aor. ἐλύπησα; pf. λελύπηκα. Pass.: 1 fut. λυπηθήσομαι; 1 aor. ἐλυπήθην; pf. λελύπημαι (fr. λύπη ‘pain, grief ’; Hes.+) gener. ‘grieve, pain’.
1. to cause severe mental or emotional distress, vex, irritate, offend, insult, act. τινά someone (Test Abr A 8 p. 86, 9 [Stone p. 20]; Dio Chrys. 28 [45], 3; BGU 531 II, 18 [I AD], freq. in the sense vex, irritate, offend TestSol 2:3 D; Herodas 5, 7, 3; Ar. 15:7) 2 Cor 2:2a; 7:8ab. The object of λυπεῖν can also be a deity (Diod. S. 1, 65, 7; 8 τὸν θεόν; schol. on Apollon. Rhod. 2, 313 λ. τὸν Δία; cp. τοὺ ἀγγέλους μου ApcSed 14:10) μὴ λυπεῖτε τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον τοῦ θεοῦ Eph 4:30; Hm 10, 2, 2; 10, 3, 2ab; cp. 10, 2, 4. χάριν Dg 11:7. In εἴ τις λελύπηκεν 2 Cor 2:5 λ. used abs. is certainly more than cause pain or vexation. In Polyaenus 8, 47 it is used of the severe humiliation or outrage experienced by a king who has been deposed by his subjects.
We're commanded not to sbennumi the Spirit in Eph5:19:
[BDAG] σβέννυμι
to cause an action, state, or faculty to cease to function or exist, quench, put out
a. lit. extinguish, put out τὶ someth., fire
b. fig. ext. of a, quench, stifle, suppress
These are seemingly quite strong words with meanings that could argue against the completion of the purchased possession. It's not unknown that deposits are forfeited for various reasons by the decision of the purchaser. Some are even refundable under specified conditions.
There's an interesting thread that runs through the Text using the word dokimos and cognates. I see it as having to do with value as it is used in assaying of metals for purity and thus value. It's used in the sense of being tested & proven valuable.
