the saviour of [someone/something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use "saviour" for any small help, but in English it usually sounds strong and dramatic, used when the help is very important. Also, the British spelling is "saviour" while the American spelling is "savior"; both are correct in their own varieties of English.
هممعنیها
rescuer (More general and factual; does not carry the same dramatic or emotional force as "saviour".)

هممعنیها

متضادها
devil (In Christian belief, the devil is often seen as the enemy who leads people away from God, in contrast to the Saviour who brings them to salvation.)
