STRONGS G728:
ἀρραβών [Tdf. ἀραβών: 2 Corinthians 1:22 (so Lachmann); 2 Cor 5:5 (but not in Ephesians 1:14), see his Proleg., p. 80; WH's Appendix, p. 148; cf. Winers Grammar, 48 (47f); Buttmann, 32 (28f), cf. Ρ, ρ], -ῶνος, ὁ, (Hebrew עֵרָבון, Genesis 38:17f, 20; from עָרַב to pledge; a word which seems to have passed from the Phœnicians to the Greeks, and thence into Latin), an earnest, i. e. money which in purchases is given as a pledge that the full amount will subsequently be paid [Suidas under the word ἀραβών], (cf. [obsolete English earlespenny; caution-money], German Kaufschilling, Haftpfennig): 2 Corinthians 1:22; 2 Corinthians 5:5, τὸν ἀρραβῶνα τοῦ πνεύματος i. e. τὸ πνεῦμα ὡς ἀρραβῶνα namely, τῆς κληρονομίας, as is expressed in full in Ephesians 1:14 [cf. Winers Grammar, § 59, 8 a.; Buttmann, 78 (68)]; for the gift of the Holy Spirit, comprising as it does the δυνάμεις τοῦ μέλλοντος αἰῶνος (Hebrews 6:5), is both a foretaste and a pledge of future blessedness; cf. under the word ἀπαρχή, c. [B. D. under the word Earnest.] (Isaeus, 8, 23 [p. 210, Reiske edition]; Aristotle, pol. 1, 4, 5 [p. 1259a, 12]; others.)
