The word itself is not frequently used in the Bible, but its implications are woven throughout the scriptures in different forms and expressions. 1. Physical Texture and Comfort: The concept of softness is sometimes associated with physical comfort and luxury. In the context of clothing, for example, soft garments are often linked to wealth and opulence. In <a href="/matthew/11-8.htm">Matthew 11:8</a> , Jesus speaks of those who wear "soft clothing" as being found in kings' houses, indicating a life of ease and privilege: "But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Look, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ palaces." 2. Gentleness and Meekness: Softness can also refer to a gentle and meek spirit, which is highly valued in biblical teaching. The Apostle Paul, in his letters, often encourages believers to exhibit gentleness, a fruit of the Spirit (<a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a>). This gentleness is akin to a soft approach in dealing with others, characterized by humility and patience. <a href="/proverbs/15.htm">Proverbs 15:1</a> states, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger," highlighting the power of a soft response in diffusing conflict. 3. Moral and Spiritual Implications: In a moral and spiritual sense, softness can sometimes imply weakness or lack of resolve. The Bible warns against being "soft" in terms of moral fortitude, urging believers to stand firm in their faith. In <a href="/1_corinthians/6-9.htm">1 Corinthians 6:9-10</a> , Paul lists those who will not inherit the kingdom of God, including the "effeminate" (translated in some versions as "soft"), which in this context refers to moral laxity and indulgence in sinful behaviors. 4. Heart Condition: The Bible frequently contrasts a "soft" heart with a "hard" heart. A soft heart is open and receptive to God's word and guidance, while a hard heart is resistant and rebellious. <a href="/ezekiel/36-26.htm">Ezekiel 36:26</a> speaks of God's promise to give His people a new heart: "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." Here, a heart of flesh symbolizes a soft, responsive heart that is sensitive to the Holy Spirit. 5. Speech and Communication: The Bible encourages believers to use soft, gracious words in their communication. <a href="/colossians/4-6.htm">Colossians 4:6</a> advises, "Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." This reflects the importance of speaking with kindness and consideration, embodying the softness of a Christ-like character in interactions with others. In summary, while the term "soft" may not appear frequently in the biblical text, its thematic presence is significant, encompassing ideas of gentleness, moral integrity, and spiritual receptivity. The Bible calls believers to embody a softness that reflects the character of Christ, marked by humility, compassion, and a heart attuned to God's will.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

It is equivalent to "elegant clothing," such as courtiers wore, as shown by the words following, "Behold, they that wear soft raiment are in kings' houses." John had bravely refused to play courtier and had gone to prison for it. In the early days of Herod the Great some scribes who attached themselves to him laid aside their usual plain clothing and wore the gorgeous raiment of courtiers (Jost, in Plumptre). George B.
