Savior:

"a savior, deliverer, preserver," is used

(a) of God, Luk 1:47; 1Ti 1:1; 2:3; 4:10 (in the sense of "Preserver," since He gives "to all life and breath and all things"); Tts 1:3; 2:10; 3:4; Jud 1:25;

(b) of Christ, Luk 2:11; Jhn 4:42; Act 5:31; 13:23 (of Israel); Eph 5:23 (the Sustainer and Preserver of the Church, His "body"); Phl 3:20 (at His return to receive the Church to Himself); 2Ti 1:10 (with reference to His Incarnation, "the days of His flesh"); Tts 1:4 (a title shared, in the context, with God the Father); 2:13, RV, "our great God and Savior Jesus Christ," the pronoun "our," at the beginning of the whole clause, includes all the titles; Tts 3:6, 2Pe 1:1, "our God and Savior Jesus Christ; RV, where the pronoun "our," coming immediately in connection with "God," involves the inclusion of both titles as referring to Christ, just as in the parallel in 2Pe 1:11, "our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (AV and RV); these passages are therefore a testimony to His Deity; 2Pe 2:20; 3:2, 18; 1Jo 4:14.
