Aeternum with a start but no end — life and punishment

Scripture often calls eternal what began but will not end.

Blessed life in Christ — eternal; judgment on the ungodly — eternal.

Matt 25:46: eternal punishment / eternal life.

Latin

I. Aeternum frequenter in Scriptura dicitur id quod principium quidem durationis habet, sed finem habiturum non est: sic beata illa vita quam Deus promittit credentibus in Christum, aeterna saepe appellatur, & aeterna quoque dicitur poena illa quae justo Dei judicio impiis & impoenitentibus olim infligenda est: ut quum tum piorum, tum impiorum finis his verbis describitur apud Matthaeum cap. 25. vers. 46. & abibunt hi in supplicium aeternum, justi vero ad vitam aeternam.
