The English word "glory" comes from the Latin as a translation of the Greek word for "glory" which originally meant "opinion" and/or "appearance".

The very short and anonymous hymn "Gloria Patria" is often sung as part of worship services.

Here is a representative Greek text.

Δόξα Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ καὶ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι,
καὶ νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν.

This Greek word for "opinion" was chosen in the LXX (Septuagint) to represent the Hebrew word for "glory" . This religious meaning continues to this day.

The ancient Greek word "δόξα" ≈ "expectation, opinion" and went to "appearance" to a narrowing of "good repute" to "honor" to (Latin) "glory".

• The "glory" of the Lord is the "opinion" of the Lord.
• Giving "glory" to God is deferring to the "opinion" to God.
• Your own "glory" is your own "opinion" and/or "appearance".

This Greek word is part of the word "doxology" and of the word "paradox" as something that goes beyond opinion or appearance (in a strange way).

The Greek word for "glory" is a narrowing of the ancient Greek «δοκειν» which has to do with thinking well of something or someone as in an expectation.
