The term "oligopistos" is used in the New Testament to describe individuals who exhibit a lack of faith or trust in God. It is often used by Jesus to gently rebuke His disciples or followers when they doubt His power or provision. The word conveys a sense of insufficient faith, not necessarily a complete absence of it, but rather a faith that is weak or underdeveloped.
