γὰρ
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: διαθήκη Γάρ ἐπί νεκροῖς βεβαία ἐπεί μήποτε ἰσχύει ὅτε ζῇ ὁ διαθέμενος)
The word For introduces a further explanation of what the author said in the previous verse (9:16) about covenants and death. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a further explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [As you can see,] or [Indeed,]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
διαθήκη
˓a˒_covenant
See how you translated the word covenant in 9:16. Alternate translation: (1) [a last testament] or (2) [every covenant]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
νεκροῖς
dead_‹bodies›
The author is using the adjective dead as a noun in order to refer to people who are dead. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this one with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: [people who are dead]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
