NASB
"For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives."
— Hebrews 9:17, NASB
“For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.”
“For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for it doth never avail while he that made it liveth. ”
“For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.”
“For a will takes effect only at death, since it carries no force while the one who made it is alive.”
“For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is as yet of no strength, whilst the testator liveth.”
“For a testament has effect after death; for what power has it while the man who made it is living?”
“For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.”
how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.
For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.
Therefore even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood.
For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
saying, "THIS IS THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT WHICH GOD COMMANDED YOU."
