Strong's Lexicon oligopistos: Little faith, of little faith Original Word: ὀλιγόπιστος HELPS Word-studies 3640 oligópistos (from 3641 /olígos, "little in number, low in quantity" and 4102 /pístis, "faith") – properly, few occurrences (applications) of faith. 3640 (oligópistos) occurs five times in the NT, each time with Jesus rebuking the problem of failing to hear His voice (cf. Jn 10:3,4,27). "Little-faith" (3640 /oligópistos) describes someone dull to hearing the Lord's voice, or disinterested in walking intimately with Him. In contrast, the goal of life is to receive (obey) the Lord's gift of faith in each scene of life (Ro 14:23; Heb 11:6). [3640 (oligópistos) is derived from 3461 /myriás ("few, small in number"), which is the opposite of 4183 /polýs ("many in number").] Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 3640: ὀλιγόπιστοςὀλιγόπιστος, ὀλιγοπιστου, ὁ, ἡ (ὀλίγος and πίστις), of little faith, trusting too little: Matthew 6:30; Matthew 8:26; Matthew 14:31; Matthew 16:8; Luke 12:28.
