Biblical meekness is not weakness but rather refers to exercising God's strength under His control – i.e. demonstrating power without undue harshness. [The English term "meek" often lacks this blend – i.e. of gentleness (reserve) and strength.] Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 4239: πραΰςπραΰς, see πρᾷός. Strong's Exhaustive Concordance meek.
