By: Steve Shirley. A: The usual definition of meekness in the Bible is strength under control.. The world defines strong people as those who are assertive, take charge, proud, self-sufficient, self-reliant, and independent. A meek person is the opposite of these things, therefore, many people associate meekness with weakness.
Meaning to meekly submit to hardship is from late 13c. That of to undergo (distress, suffering, etc.) is mid-14c. Meaning to tolerate, allow something to occur or continue is recorded from mid-13c. Related: Suffered; suffering.
