Hebrews 9:17

For a will is firm by the dead: since it has no power when he having willed lives.

Brethren, I speak according to man; Although a man's covenant, having been confirmed, none annuls, or orders an addition.

And Israel will say to Joseph, I am dying: and God was with you and turned you back to the land of your fathers.

Peace I leave to you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be timid.
