Soter ('Savior') is a christological and theological title of the first magnitude, appearing 24 times in the New Testament where it is applied with striking balance to both God the Father and Jesus Christ. In the Lukan infancy narratives, Mary praises 'God my Savior' (Luke 1:47) and angels announce 'a Savior, who is Christ the Lord' (Luke 2:11). The Pastoral Epistles use Soter interchangeably for God and Christ — 'God our Savior' (1 Tim 1:1; 2:3; 4:10; Tit 1:3; 2:10; 3:4) alternates seamlessly with 'our Savior Jesus Christ' (2 Tim 1:10; Tit 1:4; 2:13; 3:6). Second Peter likewise pairs the two applications. The Samaritan villagers acclaim Jesus with the universal title 'the Savior of the world' (John 4:42), and Philippians awaits a Savior from heaven (Phil 3:20). In the wider Greco-Roman world, soter was applied to gods (especially Zeus Soter), rulers, and benefactors, making the early Christian appropriation of the title both theologically deliberate and culturally pointed. Spanish 'Salvador,' French 'Sauveur,' German 'Retter/Heiland' map the title precisely.
