Hebrews 9:17

For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.

Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it.

Israel said to Joseph, "Behold, I am dying, 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, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
