Note that I have changed your thread title. Titles should be unique and relevant to the thread, and should include some/all of the words you are asking us about. Your actual question should appear only in the main body of the post. Don't put a space after a slash.

Note my corrections above.

Did you write the sentence yourself? If not, where did you find it? Note that there is no such word as "eternalness".

In what context do you want to use this phrase?

Note that there is no such word as "eternalness".

www.onelook.com has a few listings for it. I suppose it's being used as a noun to talk about the quality/characteristic of being eternal.

"Immortality" is the best choice here for what I think you are trying to say.

It's snagging my brain for several reasons.

1 - I have to read "all" as modifying only "glory" and not the next thing, since "all immortality" isn't quite English. You can't quantify immortality; a thing is either immortal or it isn't.

2 - It's mixing a call to action with prayer. Men give glory but only god(s) can give immortality.

I'd suggest "all glory and eternal honor." I think your concept is that the martyrs should live forever in our hearts and memories?

Yes,I wrote it myself. I depended on a dictionary application called VerbAce. It mentioned all those words as synonyms for immortality. That is why I raised that question.

The easy way, Pears in Juice, is to create a signature file to be appended to each of your posts, and include "Not a Teacher" in it.

Instead of "solve this problem" you could say "figure it out". (I press "Reply with Quote" then post my comment after the quote.)

Abdalghani, I'm still waiting for a reply to my question in post #2: In what context do you want to use this phrase?

You thanked me for my question but haven't answered it yet.

Unfortunately, Pears in Juice, you won't be able to do that until you have made ten posts.
