Smart's less contrived than Sharp's

Dan, what sources can you cite which see "Saviour Jesus Christ" as a title
of Christ?

In the 5 instances of this in the NT, it would seem to me that the writer is
not using SWTHR as title:

... THS DOXHS TOU MEGALOU QEOU
KAI SWTHROS hHMWN
IHSOU CRISTOU [Titus 2:13]

 ...TOU QEOU hHMWN
KAI SWTHROS
IHSOU CRISTOU [2 Peter 1:1]

... TOU KURIOU hHMWN
KAI SWTHROS
IHSOU CRISTOU [2 Peter 1:11]

... TOU KURIOU [hHMWN]
KAI SWTHROS
IHSOU CRISTOU [2 Peter 2:20]

... TOU KURIOU hHMWN
KAI SWTHROS
IHSOU CRISTOU [2 Peter 3:18]

The NT clearly uses the title "Lord Jesus Christ" but I can't see "Saviour
Jesus Christ" as a title.
