Hebrews 9:17

For a covenant is effective with the dead, since it is never enforced while the man who made the covenant lives.

Brothers (I speak according to a man), in the same way of a man, no man annuls or adds to a contract that has been ratified.

And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die, but God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you, not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be cowardly.
