1 I, 2 | should be continuous and eternal, being nevertheless contrary 2 I, 3 | why the primary body is eternal and not subject to increase 3 I, 8 | movement, which must be eternal both here and in the other 4 I, 9 | generation, the heaven is eternal. We may begin by raising 5 I, 10| over, some say that it is eternal, others say that it is destructible 6 I, 10| was generated and yet is eternal is to assert the impossible; 7 I, 10| capable of change and not eternal: after combination therefore 8 I, 10| universe cannot be at once eternal and generated.~To say that 9 I, 10| paradoxical than to make it eternal but varying in shape. It 10 I, 12| generated or destructible is not eternal. If it were, it would be 11 I, 12| ungenerated and in being must be eternal, and whatever is indestructible 12 I, 12| them is coincident with "eternal"; anything ungenerated is 13 I, 12| anything ungenerated is eternal and anything indestructible 14 I, 12| anything indestructible is eternal. This is clear too from 15 I, 12| indestructible should be eternal. But they must be coincident, 16 I, 12| did not exist later to be eternal. For in its later state 17 I, 12| impossible that what was formerly eternal should later be destroyed 18 I, 12| was not should later be eternal. Whatever is destructible 19 II, 1 | some assert, but is one and eternal, with no end or beginning 20 II, 1 | effort the more so, the more eternal it were-and would be inconsistent 21 II, 3 | God is immortality, i.e. eternal life. Therefore the movement 22 II, 3 | which is divine must be eternal. But such is the heaven, 23 II, 3 | otherwise it could not be eternal: for nothing unnatural is 24 II, 3 | for nothing unnatural is eternal. The unnatural is subsequent 25 II, 3 | since none of them can be eternal: for contraries interact 26 II, 3 | a movable body should be eternal, if its movement cannot 27 II, 3 | be regarded as naturally eternal: and these bodies we know 28 II, 3 | earth is required because eternal movement in one body necessitates 29 II, 3 | in one body necessitates eternal rest in another.~ 30 II, 4 | continuous and regular and eternal, and if, in each kind, the 31 II, 5 | nothing which concerns the eternal can be a matter of chance 32 II, 5 | its circular motion are eternal. We must therefore ask why 33 II, 6 | middle: for in time it is eternal, and in length it returns 34 II, 6 | that it is ungenerated and eternal, and further that its movement 35 II, 14| the movement could not be eternal. But the order of the universe 36 II, 14| order of the universe is eternal. Again, everything that 37 III, 6 | whether the elements are eternal or subject to generation 38 III, 6 | first place, they cannot be eternal. It is a matter of observation 39 III, 7 | perceptible principles, eternal things eternal principles, 40 III, 7 | principles, eternal things eternal principles, corruptible
