Out of curiosity I consulted with various other translations and other language editions:
Murdock reads, "who believe not"; Etheridge reads, "them who believe not"; Delitschz (Hebrew) reads "disobedient ones"; BSI reads "disobedient ones"; Almeida reads "rebellious", Reina-Valera reads "rebellious".
The word can mean "disobedient ones", "rebellious ones", "stubborn ones", etc. All on the lines of "unbelieving" and "disobedient."
The question remains however, since Mar Shaul/Paul made mention of "the saints in Jerusalem", could this have been referring to the Believers in the Messianic Ministration or to those who were "stubborn" to hear and not believing in the new ministration of Mshikha? I tend to believe that Mar Shaul/Paul was referring to Israelites who were stiff necked and showed opposition to the Gospel in the same area where he was going to where the "saints in Jerusalem" resided as well.
Sorry if I was too wordy. <!-- s
