"soft, soft to the touch" (Lat., mollis, Eng., "mollify," "emollient," etc.), is used (a) of raiment, Matthew 11:8 (twice); Luke 7:25; (b) metaphorically, in a bad sense, 1 Corinthians 6:9 , "effeminate," not simply of a male who practices forms of lewdness, but persons in general, who are guilty of addiction to sins of the flesh, voluptuous.
