15 1, 26 | Thes. Para. 1/1~Whether beatitude belongs to God?~Aquin.:
16 1, 26 | 1/1~OBJ 1: It seems that beatitude does not belong to God.
17 1, 26 | does not belong to God. For beatitude ~according to Boethius (
18 1, 26 | has composition. Therefore beatitude does not belong to ~God.~

23 1, 26 | possess intelligence. Whence beatitude ~belongs to God in the highest
24 1, 26 | belongs as an accident to beatitude or happiness to be ~the
25 1, 26 | far as anyone attains to beatitude; even as to ~be the term

29 1, 26 | Para. 1/1~OBJ 2: Further, Beatitude implies the notion of end.
30 1, 26 | also is the good. Therefore beatitude is said to ~be in God with
31 1, 26 | xxii), it would seem that beatitude is said ~to be in God in
32 1, 26 | Para. 1/1~I answer that, Beatitude, as stated above (A[1]),
33 1, 26 | everything. ~Whence the beatitude of every intellectual nature
34 1, 26 | our understanding them. Beatitude ~must therefore be assigned
35 1, 26 | the assimilation ~to His beatitude.~Aquin.: SMT FP Q[26] A[
36 1, 26 | This argument proves that beatitude belongs to God; not ~that
37 1, 26 | belongs to God; not ~that beatitude pertains essentially to
38 1, 26 | 1/1~Reply OBJ 2: Since beatitude is a good, it is the object
39 1, 26 | of understanding, divine beatitude precedes the act of the ~
40 1, 26 | the intellect; ~and thus beatitude is to be found in an act
41 1, 26 | 1/1~Whether God is the beatitude of each of the blessed?~
42 1, 26 | It seems that God is the beatitude of each of the blessed.
43 1, 26 | it is ~of the essence of beatitude that it should be the supreme
44 1, 26 | supreme good, it seems ~that beatitude is nothing else but God
45 1, 26 | Para. 1/1~OBJ 2: Further, beatitude is the last end of the rational
46 1, 26 | only to God. Therefore the ~beatitude of every blessed is God
47 1, 26 | 1/1~On the contrary, The beatitude of one is greater than that
48 1, 26 | greater than God. Therefore beatitude is something different ~
49 1, 26 | 1/1~I answer that, The beatitude of an intellectual nature
50 1, 26 | to understand. If, then, beatitude be considered on the side
51 1, 26 | object, God is the only beatitude; for everyone is blessed
