Hebrews 9:16-17

KJV

NIV

16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
16 In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it,
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.
