Savior
Σωτῆρος Sōtēros is the Greek word for saviour. The word sōtēros in Greek is the word that Augustus Caesar applied to himself. He said he was the savior!
He was the Savior of the world of Rome and with his power as Emperor he was able to establish his “Pease on earth,” with his "Pax Romana". He had coins minted with his head on them which were loaned into circulation.
He also set up a system of social welfare through the state run temples. The free bread of Rome was the Qorban of Caesar. Like the Corban of Herod and the Pharisees they were systems of "legal charity" which were the antithesis of the Corban of Christ which based on fervent charity.
Christ was a different kind of savior. The table of Christ set men free but the table of Caesar made men merchandise and often will curse children.

1 John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
1 John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. 19 He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
