The Meaning of “Glory” and “Amen”
Galatians 1:5
Excerpt
Glory is a word with many meanings, but here it probably is used in the sense of “praise,” and the whole expression may be equivalent to “May God be praised forever and ever.” The word Amen is usually used to end a prayer, and is equivalent to saying “May it be so,” or “May it come true.”
