Hebrews 9:17

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

New International Version NIV

17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is as yet of no strength, whilst 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.
