I'm familiar with "Malaka", I'm a tiny bit Greek you know. 😅😅
Discussion
I had heard the term was back to my childhood. I had friends who were Greek.
I love, though when I see the text of the original New Testament and the words are very clear.
What's even more interesting is the translation from Greek to English is consistent. So when I see soft I know it's referring to malaka...
