Kohelles 7:20 Surely there is not a righteous person on earth who does what is good and doesn’t sin. Mishlei 24:16 For though the righteous one may fall seven times, he gets up again, but the wicked stumble in adversity.
The soul is the name given to the supposed immaterial part of an individual, which some believe can exist separately from the body in the afterlife. Though the term itself largely comes from Christian traditions, most religions have some concept of a "part" of the person that is separate and distinct from the body. It's considered by those who believe in it to be a self-evident and intrinsic part of humanity (hence why things like philosophical zombies can exist in some peoples' minds). It is an important aspect of much religious belief-particularly when concerning the afterlife. The term is often invoked in a metaphorical sense (such as a poetic statement "my soul was moved by his words") without implying the actual existence of a separate "magical" part of a person that exists after the person dies.
