Hebrews 9:17
For such a Covenant takes effect only upon death, it does not come into force as long as the testator is alive.
Galatians 3:15
To take an illustration, Brothers, from daily life--No one sets aside even an agreement between two men, when once it has been confirmed, nor does he add conditions to it.
John 14:27
Peace be with you! My own peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, or dismayed.
