希伯来书 9:17
For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Context
This verse from 希伯来书 Chapter 9 connects to 3 cross-references. 第一个约有礼拜的条例和属世的圣幕。大祭司每年一次带着血进入圣所，指明通往至圣所的路尚未显明。但基督为我们进入了那更完全的圣幕，不是带着公山羊和牛犊的血，而是带着自己的血，一次进入圣所，成了永远赎罪的事。

for a covenant over dead victims <FI>is<Fi> stedfast, since it is no force at all when the covenant-victim liveth,
For a testament has effect after death; for what power has it while the man who made it is living?
