For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
GNV
Hebrews 9:17
For the Testament is confirmed when men are dead: for it is yet of no force as long as he that made it, is aliue.
Parallel Translations
For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.
