Hebrews 9:17

Young's Literal Translation YLT

New International Version NIV

17 for a covenant over dead victims [is] stedfast, since it is no force at all when the covenant-victim 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.
